Abstract:
A device for transmitting radiofrequency signals, the device comprising power amplifier means for amplifying the power of a radiofrequency signal received at an input of said power amplifier means, and gain control means for controlling the gain of said power amplifier means to regulate said gain in such a manner that the power of the output signal from said power amplifier means tends towards a desired nominal value, said gain control means operating on a monitoring signal representative of a measurement signal giving the output power from said power amplifier means, in order to deliver a gain control signal for controlling variation in the gain of the power amplifier means, wherein, in addition to the power amplifier means, said device further comprises adjustment means that are responsive to said gain control signal to deliver an additional adjustment signal to the gain control signal in such a manner that the monitoring signal, which is also representative of the adjustment signal, is suitable for causing said gain control means to respond more quickly.
