Abstract
Apparatus and methods for sounding reference signal (SRS) switching are provided. In certain embodiments, a controller internal to the power amplifier module initiates a sequence of instructions, in response to a single command from UE. The instructions cause a reduction in gain of the power amplifier, and initiate a delay. The antennas switch actuates after the delay to switch from a first antenna to a second antenna. The teachings herein can be used to avoid over-power on the power amplifier and antenna switch.
