Abstract
A system for amplifying an input signal can comprise a main amplifier to amplify a delayed version of the input signal. The system can also comprise a peak amplifier to amplify the input signal upon the input signal reaching a threshold level and disable amplification upon the input signal falling below the threshold level. The system can further comprise a voltage combiner to electromagnetically couple the output of the main amplifier and the peak amplifier, such that an output impedance at an output node of the voltage combiner is a high impedance if the input signal is below the threshold level.
