1. A power amplifier system, comprising:
- a plurality of power amplifiers, wherein each power amplifier includes at least one output port;
a plurality of primary windings each having a first number of turns N1, wherein each primary winding is connected to at least one output port of the plurality of power amplifiers; and
a single secondary winding inductively coupled to the plurality of primary windings, the single secondary winding connected to a load, wherein the secondary winding includes a second number of turns N2 greater than the first number of turns N1, wherein the plurality of primary windings and the single secondary winding define a voltage-boosting transformer, the voltage-boosting transformer configured to increase voltage from each of the primary windings to the single secondary winding.
