Abstract:
1. A device for monitoring an output power of a radio, the device comprising: at least one radio-frequency module for converting baseband transmission signals having signal amplitudes to radio-frequency signals and for amplifying said radio-frequency signals, said radio-frequency module including a power amplifier having a controllable gain; a scaling unit for varying said signal amplitudes of said baseband transmission signals, said scaling unit including a memory for storing a sequence of rising or falling amplitude values; said sequence of amplitude values producing a rising or falling profile for said signal amplitudes of said baseband transmission signals; a controller for controlling said scaling unit and for synchronizing said varying of said signal amplitudes of said baseband transmission signals by said scaling unit with a variation of said gain of said power amplifier when raising or reducing an output power before or after transmitting a data burst; and an analog power control device for controlling said power amplifier, said analog power control device being separate from said controller.
