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, that cause the antenna switch to actuate for transmission of the sounding reference signal symbol to a second antenna. The user equipment notifies the base station associated with the mobile device to withhold blanking symbols before and after a sounding reference signal symbol.
