1. A wireless device comprising:
a transceiver configured to process signals;
a radio-frequency module in communication with the transceiver, the radio-frequency module including a serial bus and a first radio-frequency amplifier, the first radio-frequency amplifier coupled to the serial bus and including a monitoring component configured to monitor the serial bus for first data addressed to and transmitted to a second radio-frequency amplifier coupled to the serial bus, the first data directed to the second radio-frequency amplifier and including an identifier of the second radio-frequency amplifier, the first data including configuration information relating to the second radio-frequency amplifier, the monitoring component further configured to detect the first data transmitted to the second radio-frequency amplifier and to set or modify a configuration of the first radio-frequency amplifier based on the configuration information relating to the second radio-frequency amplifier in the detected first data transmitted to the second radio-frequency amplifier, operation of the first radio-frequency amplifier dependent on the second radio-frequency amplifier; and
an antenna in communication with the radio-frequency module, the antenna configured to transmit or receive signals.
