Abstract
A communication unit includes at least one divider module arranged to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal and output a divided representation of the RF signal, and a plurality of sliced RF modules. Each of the plurality of sliced RF modules includes: an input for receiving a clock signal; a timing synchronization module arranged to receive the divided representation of the RF signal and synchronize the divided representation of the RF signal to the clock signal, across the plurality of sliced RF modules; and at least one logic module operably coupled to the timing synchronization module and arranged to receive the clock signal and a synchronized output from the timing synchronization module. A combiner port is arranged to couple a number of synchronized outputs from the plurality of sliced RF modules.
