Abstract

A quasi-switched, multi-band, high-power amplifier includes an input matching network, a low band path, a high band path, and an output matching network. The input matching network includes a single input port that is configured to receive an input signal. The input signal includes at least one tone within a specified frequency band. The low band path is configured, when the specified frequency band is a low frequency band, to amplify the input signal to generate a low band amplified signal. The high band path is configured, when the specified frequency band is a high frequency band, to amplify the input signal to generate a high band amplified signal. The output matching network includes a single output port and is configured to filter at least one of the low band amplified signal and the high band amplified signal into a load through the single output port.
