Claim Text:
1. A method for calibrating a transmitter, the method comprising: operating the transmitter using a first transmitter setting; obtaining, via an external reference measuring device external to the transmitter, a transmit power reference value that is a first transmit power of the transmitter corresponding to the first transmitter setting as measured by the external reference measuring device; obtaining, using an internal measuring device of the transmitter or using a receiver associated with the transmitter, a first uncalibrated transmit power measurement value that is the first transmit power as measured by the internal measuring device or the receiver; calibrating the internal measuring device based at least in part on a first database comprising the transmit power reference value and the first uncalibrated transmit power measurement value to provide a calibrated internal measuring device configured to calibrate an output power of the transmitter; operating the transmitter using a second transmitter setting; obtaining, using the calibrated internal measuring device independently of the external reference measuring device, a second transmit power measurement value that is a second transmit power corresponding to the second transmitter setting as measured by the calibrated internal measuring device; obtaining calibration data based on the second transmitter setting and the second transmit power measurement value independently of the external reference measuring device; and storing the calibration data in a calibration data structure.
