CONTROL OF TRANSMISSION POWER IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A system for controlling transmission power of a transmitter in a pseudo-random gated output power digital communication system includes a power measurement unit for producing a transmission power measurement only when transmission is enabled, and a processing unit for comparing the transmission power measurement to a desired power and for determining a power setting of the transmitter. A method for controlling the transmission power of a transmitter in a pseudo-random gated output power digital communication system includes the steps of comparing a measured transmitted power at an antenna to a desired power only when transmission is enabled, and adjusting a power setting of the transmitter according to the difference between the measured transmitted power and the desired power.
