Abstract:
Power amplifier having selective signal paths. In some embodiments, a power amplifier circuit can include a plurality of signal paths sharing a common amplification stage configured to partially amplify a signal. Each signal path can further include a dedicated amplification stage coupled to the common amplification stage and configured to be capable of further amplifying the partially amplified signal. The power amplifier circuit can further include a bias selector having a switch configured to provide a bias signal to a selected dedicated amplification stage among the plurality of signal paths to thereby allow the selected dedicated amplification stage to further amplify the partially amplified signal.
