Systems and methods for converged power amplifiers

Abstract

Systems and methods for converged power amplifiers are disclosed. In one aspect, a radio frequency front end includes a first power amplifier configured to receive a first radio frequency signal and amplify the first radio frequency signal, a first filter configured to filter frequencies from the amplified first radio frequency signal for communication with a first communication standard, and a second filter configured to filter frequencies from the first amplified radio frequency signal for communication with a second communication standard. The front end further includes a second power amplifier configured to receive a second radio frequency signal and amplify the second radio frequency signal, a third filter configured to filter frequencies from the second amplified radio frequency signal for communication with a third communication standard, and an antenna switch configured to simultaneously electrically connect the first filter and the third filter to an antenna terminal.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
