Abstract
In one aspect of the exemplary embodiments of this invention a method includes determining, based at least in part on a number of resource blocks to be transmitted, where the resource blocks may be spectrally contiguous or spectrally non-contiguous, a ratio of power to be provided by a switched mode power supply to power to be provided by a linear mode power supply; controlling the switched mode power supply and the linear mode power supply in accordance with the determined ratio to supply a total amount of power and providing the total amount of power to a supply voltage input of a polar transmitter.
