Abstract
An amplifier module with multiple operating modes is described. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes a plurality of amplifiers. The apparatus may also include a plurality of switches, each switch coupled to an output of an associated amplifier in the plurality of amplifiers and configured to provide an amplified signal in a first mode and bypass the associated amplifier and provide an associated bypass signal in a second mode. Further, the apparatus may include an output circuit including a plurality of matching circuits, each matching circuit coupled to an associated amplifier in the plurality of amplifiers and an associated switch in the plurality of switches.
