US Patent 12081243 Low noise amplifiers with combined outputs

Multiple low noise amplifiers (LNAs) with combined outputs are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes a front-end module and an integrated circuit (IC). The front-end module includes a plurality of LNAs having outputs that are combined. The IC includes receive circuits coupled to the plurality of LNAs via a single interconnection. In an exemplary design, each of the plurality of LNAs may be enabled or disabled via a respective control signal for that LNA. The front-end module may also include receive filters coupled to the plurality of LNAs and a switchplexer coupled to the receive filters. The front-end module may further include at least one power amplifier, and the IC may further include transmit circuits coupled to the at least one power amplifier.
