Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 15:
16. A trunked amplifier network, comprising:
a first coupler network comprising two or more input ports and two or more output ports, wherein the two or more input ports are communicatively coupled to two or more signal paths corresponding to two or more bands;
a second coupler network comprising two or more input ports and two or more output ports, wherein the two or more output ports are communicatively coupled to two or more signal paths corresponding to two or more bands; and
two or more amplifier networks between the first coupler network and the second coupler network, wherein the two or more amplifier networks are communicatively coupled between the one or more output ports of the first coupler network and the one or more input ports of the second coupler network, and a signal received at the first coupler network is distributed to the two or more amplifier networks for amplification and combined using the second coupler network to produce an output signal amplified by the two or more amplifier networks;
wherein a number of the two or more signal paths is equal to M and a number of the two or more amplifier networks is equal to N, wherein M is less than or equal to N, and M and N are positive integers greater than or equal to two.
