摘要 |
A communication device includes a communication interface, a number of variable power amplifiers (VPAs), and a processor. Some of the VPAs are configured to process analog signals to generate processed analog signals (e.g., each VPA configured to process one of the analog signals to generate one of the processed analog signals based on a respective VPA control signal). A composite VPA processes a summation of the processed analog signals, which are generated by certain of the VPA, to generate a processed composite signal based on a composite VPA control signal. The processor generates the a first, a second, and a composite VPA control signals based, at least in part, on configuration information from another communication device via the communication interface. The processor may be configured to consider other information as well, such as locally generated information (within the communication device), operational history, current operating conditions, etc. |

1. A communication device comprising:
a plurality of variable power amplifiers (VPAs) configured to process a plurality of analog signals to generate a plurality of processed analog signals, wherein a first variable power amplifier (VPA) is configured to process a first analog signal based on a first VPA control signal, wherein a second VPA is configured to process a second analog signal based on a second VPA control signal; a composite VPA configured to process, based on a composite VPA control signal, a composite signal that is a summation of the plurality of processed analog signals to generate and output a processed composite signal; and a processing circuitry configured to provide the first VPA control signal to the first VPA, the second VPA control signal to the second VPA, and the composite VPA control signal to the composite VPA. |
