Transmitter and method of operating a transmitter

摘要

A transmitter is provided that comprises an oscillator, a power amplifier, and a heating element. The power amplifier generates a high power signal according to the low power signal. The transmitter may be operated such that a heat production rate of the group consisting of the power amplifier and the heating element is substantially constant. The heating element may be a dummy power amplifier. A method of operating a transmitter is also disclosed.
