    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing total power from one transmit path. The method provides the steps of: selecting a transmit path and closing a first switch, located after a digital to analog converter. A second switch between the two transmit paths is then closed in order to provide for the use of at least one low-pass filter in each transmit path. The signal is then processed through the at least one low pass filter in each transmit path. The signal is then processed through at least one mixer in each transmit path. After the mixer, the signal is then processed through at least one driver amplifier in each transmit path, and one-half of the total power is allocated to each of two transmission paths. A third switch is then closed after the at least one power amplifier in each transmit path to force the half-power from one transmit path into one output.

    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for performing quadrature combining and adjusting. One example circuit may include first through fourth mixing circuits. The first mixing circuit may multiply a radio frequency signal with a first local oscillating signal to generate a first frequency converted signal. The second mixing circuit may multiply a radio frequency (RF) signal with a second local oscillating signal, which may be about 90° out of phase with the first local oscillating signal, to generate a second frequency converted signal. The third and fourth mixing circuits may multiply the RF signal with the second and first signals, respectively, to generate third and fourth frequency converted signals, respectively. A first combining circuit may combine the first and third frequency converted signals, and a second combining circuit may combine the second and fourth frequency converted signals.
