Method and apparatus for measuring output power of devices for mobile communications

摘要

The output power of a signal generated by a mobile communications device is measured over a short period of time (e.g. one signal burst), and the data modulation carried by the signal is also determined. The measured power value is adjusted to compensate for variations due to the content of the data modulation. This enables the long-term average power output by the device to be determined more quickly than by averaging the power measured over many successive signal bursts.
