1. A dual-mode power amplifier comprising:
a transistor stack comprising a first plurality of metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) of a first polarity and a second plurality of MOSFETs of a second polarity;
a first buffer pair to receive a variable envelope signal of a first modulation scheme and provide the variable envelope signal to a gate terminal of a first MOSFET of the first plurality of MOSFETs and a gate terminal of a first MOSFET of the second plurality of MOSFETs; and
a second buffer pair to receive a constant envelope signal of a second modulation scheme and provide the constant envelope signal to the gate terminal of the first MOSFET of the first plurality of MOSFETs and the gate terminal of the first MOSFET of the second plurality of MOSFETs.
