Abstract:
1. An apparatus for amplifying an RF modulated signal for transmission on a network having micro-burst transmission slots and having a minimum noise floor, including: a signal encoder and control signal generation module for receiving a signal to be transmitted on an RF network and generating a digitally encoded signal and an RF signal amplification gain signal; an RF modulator for receiving and modulating the digitally encoded signal for one or more RF channels or frequencies, thereby obtaining an RF modulated signal; a control signal module for receiving the RF signal amplification gain signal and for generating a first RF pre-amplifier gain signal and a first RF amplifier gain signal; a pre-amplifier control module for receiving the first RF pre-amplifier gain signal and generating a bias signal and a second RF pre-amplifier gain signal based on the received first RF pre-amplifier gain signal; a pre-amplifier module for receiving the RF modulated signal and the second RF pre-amplifier gain signal and generating a pre-amplified RF modulated signal; an amplifier control module for receiving the first RF amplifier gain signal and the bias signal and generating a second RF amplifier gain signal; and an amplifier module for receiving the second RF amplifier gain signal and the pre-amplified RF modulated signal and generating an RF amplified signal, wherein
