Abstract
A communication unit comprises a controller and a radio frequency signal path having a plurality of delay elements operably coupled to a series of respective amplifier stages, wherein the controller is arranged to individually enable the respective amplifier stages. In response thereto a number of the plurality of delay elements are selectively inserted into or by-passed from the radio frequency signal path thereby adjusting a phase shift applied to signals provided through the radio frequency signal path.
