Abstract
In some aspects, an apparatus may comprise multiple power coupling circuits that are each coupled between a respective power amplifier and a respective antenna element in a phased array, each power coupling circuit configured to generate a current proportional to an output power of the respective power amplifier. The apparatus may comprise a shared transimpedance amplifier (TIA) coupled to the multiple power coupling circuits, wherein the shared TIA comprises an input to receive, from the multiple power coupling circuits, the respective generated currents and an output to provide an analog signal indicating a value of the respective generated currents received from the multiple power coupling circuits. The apparatus may comprise an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that comprises an input coupled to the output from the shared TIA and an output configured to provide a digital signal indicating the output powers from the power amplifiers. Numerous other aspects are described.
