Abstract

A device includes a power splitter configured to couple to an amplifier having a first path and a second path. The device includes a controller coupled to first and second variable attenuators and first and second adjustable phase shifters. The controller is configured to monitor a phase shift and an output power of each of the first path and second path of the amplifier, and adjust at least one of the first and second variable attenuators and the first and second adjustable phase shifters based upon the phase shift and the output power of each of the first path and second path of the amplifier to modify an input signal to the first path or the second path of the amplifier.
