摘要 |
A mobile communication device (100) of the embodiments will have a transmit diversity antenna system (613) that will comprise at least two antennas and processor/s (607) that will run a transmit diversity control module (609) for controlling transmit diversity output power. Using a power curve, the mobile communication device (100) determines whether a threshold, corresponding to an SAR value, is or may be exceeded. If the SAR threshold is not exceeded given various determined environmental conditions, the mobile communication device (100) continues transmit diversity operation. However, if SAR is about to be exceeded, or is exceeded, the mobile communication device (100) will take action and either reduce overall power, reduce power to one of the transmit diversity antennas, or deactivate one of the transmit diversity antennas in order to bring the SAR level back below the threshold. |
