Abstract
Systems and method for improving operation of a radio frequency system are provided. One embodiment provides a radio frequency system that includes a first amplifier unit with a first logic gate, which receives an input analog electrical signal and a first bit of an amplifier control signal that enables or disables the first amplifier unit, and a first switching power amplifier that generates a first output analog electrical signal when enabled. The radio frequency system further includes a second amplifier unit with a second logic gate, which receives the input analog electrical signal and a second bit of the amplifier control signal that enables or disables the second amplifier unit, and a second switching power amplifier that generates a second output analog electrical signal when enabled. The first amplifier unit and the second amplifier unit are electrically coupled to enable the first output analog electrical signal and the second output analog electrical signal to be combined.
