Abstract

An amplifier module with an output coupler is disclosed. The amplifier module may include a plurality of input terminals and two or more output terminals. Each input terminal may be coupled to an input of an independent amplifier. Outputs from the independent amplifiers may be coupled to the two or more output terminals. The amplifier module may include an output coupler to couple the two or more output terminals together. A signal may be received by a first output terminal and be coupled by the output coupler to a second output terminal. In some embodiments, when the two or more output terminals are coupled together, the independent amplifiers may be made inactive or operated in a minimum gain configuration.
