Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a single switching power supply that may either provide envelope power to a first RF power amplifier during a first operating mode, or simultaneously provide envelope power to the first RF power amplifier and to a second RF power amplifier during a second operating mode. In one embodiment, the single switching power supply and the first and second RF power amplifiers may be used in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) RF communications system. As such, during the first operating mode, the first RF power amplifier may transmit a first RF output signal to a first antenna, and during the second operating mode, the first RF power amplifier may transmit the first RF output signal to the first antenna and the second RF power amplifier may transmit a second RF output signal to a second antenna, which may provide diversity.
