Abstract
The present invention is a Comb linear amplifier combiner (CLAC) apparatus that allows one or more transmitters to transmit through one transmit antenna. The CLAC apparatus passes low powered transmit signals through a bank of bandpass filters. The transmit signals then pass through Class A amplifiers which amplify the transmit signals to the full transmit power. The full transmit power signals then pass through a second bank of bandpass filters. The transmission signals are then transmitted through a single transmission antenna.
