Abstract
An adaptable DC power consumption circuit is provided, wherein a controller alternately operates an RF amplifier during a high RF output power condition, and bypasses the RF amplifier during a low RF output power condition. In this manner, linear operation of the RF amplifier can be maintained while maximizing the power efficiency of the RF amplifier.
