Patent ID: 7791325

Claim:
A transmission arrangement comprising: a voltage supply arrangement which can be operated in a first or in a second operating mode and is configured to provide a voltage in the first operating mode from a first power range, and from a second power range in the second operating mode, to a first electrical load, comprising: a voltage converter whose input side is coupled to a voltage input of the voltage supply arrangement in order to supply an input voltage and at a voltage converter output to a first connection of a first switch; the first switch, which is coupled at a second connection to a voltage output of the voltage supply arrangement for connection of the first electrical load; a second switch, which is coupled at a first connection to the voltage input of the voltage supply arrangement and at a second connection to the voltage output of the voltage supply arrangement; and a drive circuit, which has at least one drive circuit input for supplying at least one control signal, coupled at a first output to a control input of the first switch and at a second output to a control input of the second switch, and is configured to drive the first and the second switch in response to the at least one control signal; a modulator which has an input for supplying a payload signal to be transmitted, and has an output for providing a modulated signal; a transmission amplifier, which is connected at one input to the output of the modulator, and has a power amplifier as well as an output for providing a signal to be transmitted; and an antenna, which is coupled at one input to the output of the transmission amplifier and is configured to transmit the signal to be transmitted; wherein the voltage supply arrangement is connected at the voltage output to the transmission amplifier to supply voltage thereto.
