ABSTRACT:
A circuit may be provided. The circuit may be a component of a dual mode transmitter such as a transmitter from the 802.11x family. The circuit may comprise an amplifier configured to provide amplification of a signal for transmission in either a first transmission mode or a second transmission mode, using power supplied from a power supply, the amplifier including at least one cascode transistor in series with at least one amplifying transistor. The circuit may further comprise a power controller configured to define an operating characteristic of the at least one cascode transistor, and thereby designate an amount of the power from the power supply that is used by the amplifier during the amplification, based on whether the amplifier is to be operated in the first transmission mode or the second transmission mode.
