Control of a power amplifier for reducing power consumption in a transceiver

摘要

A technique for controlling a transceiver apparatus (100) is useful for reducing power consumption, and may be particularly applicable to mobile transceivers which employ a battery power supply. According to an exemplary embodiment, the transceiver apparatus (100) includes a power amplifier (56) for amplifying a transmission signal. A controller (30) controls the power amplifier (56) based on a power level of third order intermodulation products associated with the power amplifier (56).
