Abstract:
Methods and systems for amplifying signals are provided. Embodiments include a three-to-one multiplexer, a multiband RF variable gain amplifier (VGA), a multiband power amplifier driver (PAD), and a one-to three multiplexer. The three-to-one multiplexer receives three input signals from an RF frequency source and outputs an output signal corresponding one input signal. The multiband RF VGA receives the output signal of the three-to-one multiplexer, provides a first level of amplification to the signal received from the three-to-one multiplexer, and outputs an amplified version of the signal. The multiband PAD receives the signal output by the multiband RF variable gain amplifier and provides a second level of amplification to the signal and outputs an amplified version of the signal. The one-to-three multiplexer receives a signal output by the multiband PAD produces three output signals that correspond to each of the three input signals.
