Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first amplification stage configured to amplify a first carrier signal; a second amplification stage configured to amplify a second carrier signal, the first amplification stage direct-current (DC) coupled to the second amplification stage; first circuitry coupled to the first amplification stage and configured to control a first gain of the first amplification stage, the first circuitry configured to selectively divert a first bleed current from a first output of the first amplification stage; and second circuitry coupled to the second amplification stage and configured to control a second gain of the second amplification stage independently of the first gain, the second circuitry configured to selectively divert a second bleed current from a second output of the second amplification stage.
