PARALLEL CASCODE AMPLIFIER FOR ENHANCED LOW-POWER MODE EFFICIENCY

Abstract:

In some embodiments, a power amplification system can comprise a current source, an input switch configured to alternatively feed current from the current source to a high-power circuit path and a low-power circuit path, and a band switch including a switch arm for switching between a plurality of bands. Each of the high-power circuit path and the low-power circuit path can be connected to the switch arm.
