Abstract
A power supply to power amplifier (PA) distribution network may include a first power supply. The PA distribution network may further include at least one power amplifier. The power amplifier may be coupled to the first power supply. The power amplifier may include a driver stage and a power stage. The power amplifier may be coupled to the first power supply via a first switch.
Claims20
A power supply to power amplifier (PA) distribution network, comprising:
- a first power supply;
- and
- at least one power amplifier coupled to the first power supply, the at least one power amplifier comprising a driver stage and a power stage, the at least one power amplifier coupled to the first power supply via a first switch.
A method of supplying power to a power amplifier (PA) network, comprising:
- coupling at least one of a driver stage and/or a power stage of a first PA of the PA network to a first power supply when the first PA is active;
- and
- decoupling at least one of the driver stage and/or the power stage of the first PA from the first power supply when the first PA is inactive.
A power supply to power amplifier (PA) distribution network, comprising:
- first means for supplying power;
- and
- at least one power amplifier coupled to the first means for supplying power, the at least one power amplifier comprising a driver stage and a power stage, the at least one power amplifier coupled to the first means for supplying power via a first switch.
