Abstract: Power amplification units and methods are provided, which use a combiner and an auxiliary signal to feed the power amplifier (PA) with a signal that prevents or reduces operation of higher amplification stages during off periods of the received RF signal. The PA output is delivered through an output matching circuit configured to pass the RF signal and attenuate the auxiliary signal; and the combiner combines the RF signal and the auxiliary signal through respective filters to generate the RF input signal to the PA. An auxiliary signal generator may be configured to generate the auxiliary signal with relation to the RF signal as having a frequency spectrum lower than a cutoff RF frequency. Resulting lower power consumption, particularly in case of low duty cycle RF signals, reduces heating, enables longer battery use and increases reliability performance.
