A power supply modulator circuit includes a multi-output power supply that generates multiple power output signals; at least one power modulator circuit generates a modulated power output signal from the multiple power output signals of the multi-output power supply; at least one pulse shaping network (PSN) having at least one passive element, the PSN configured to shape the modulated power output signal; at least one power amplifier coupled to receive the modulated power signal; and a switching network having a plurality of switches to create or modify power signal paths from the at least one power modulator circuit to the at least one power amplifier.
A circuit comprising:
The circuit of claim 7 wherein the switching network is coupled across the PSN and configured to selectively provide a signal path which bypasses the PSN.
The circuit of claim 7 wherein the switching network is coupled in parallel with the passive element of the PSN and configured to alter a transfer function of the PSN by selectively shorting the passive element.
In a mobile handset, a circuit having an input and an output, the circuit comprising:
