Title: A comb linear amplifier combiner having a bandpass filter coupled to a power amplifier
Inventor: LI SHING T
IPC: H03F3/60
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: The present invention is a Comb linear amplifier combiner (CLAC) apparatus that allows one or more transmitters to transmit through one transmit antenna. The CLAC apparatus passes low powered transmit signals through a bank of bandpass filters.
