Abstract
An amplifier arrangement (200) for amplifying input signals and a method for operating the amplifier arrangement are disclosed. The amplifier arrangement (200) comprises a main amplifier circuit (210) having an input and an output; a first (221) and second (222) auxiliary amplifier circuits each having an input and an output, wherein each of the first (221) and second (222) auxiliary amplifier circuits being selectively operable to operate in combination with the main amplifier circuit (210). The amplifier arrangement (200) further comprises a single hybrid coupler circuit (230) having a first port (221) being coupled to the output of the main amplifier circuit (210), a second port (232) being coupled to the output of the first auxiliary amplifier circuit (221), a third port (233) being coupled to the output of the second auxiliary amplifier circuit (222) and a fourth port (234) being coupled to the load (240) of the amplifier (200).
