Abstract

Inter-alia, an apparatus is disclosed comprising: at least one power amplifier coupled to at least one radio frequency power storage device, wherein the at least one power amplifier is configured to supply power to the at least one radio frequency power storage device, wherein the at least one power amplifier provides power to be used to amplify one or more radio frequency signals; wherein the at least one radio frequency power storage device is configured to store the power of the at least one power amplifier for a certain time period; and one or more antenna elements coupled to the at least one radio frequency power storage device, wherein the at least one radio frequency power storage device is configured to output stored power to at least one of the one or more antenna elements, wherein the power is output variably dependent upon a power demand of a required radio frequency power and/or amplitude needed to transmit the one or more radio frequency signals, wherein the power demand represents a power demand of the at least one antenna element to which the power is to be output. It is further disclosed an according method, and system.
