A high output power radio frequency integrated circuit includes an up
conversion module, a plurality of drivers and a plurality of integrated
circuit pads. The up conversion module is operably coupled to convert a
low intermediate frequency (IF) signal into a radio frequency (RF)
signal. The plurality of drivers are operably coupled to receive the RF
signal and to produce separate RF drive signals therefrom. The plurality
of integrated circuit pads are coupled to the plurality of drivers to
provide the separate RF drive signals to external components of the RFIC.
