Abstract
A power amplifier circuit including a plurality of analog power amplifiers configured to generate a output power for an output signal; at least one processor configured to: select a highest output power signal; determine an input signal power of a modulated signal; determine an output signal power based on the input signal power; compare the output signal power and the highest output power; and disable a subset of the plurality of analog power amplifiers based on the comparison, wherein a remainder of the plurality of analog power amplifiers are configured to generate the output signal power.
