A wireless communication element configured to receive a digital signal output by digital circuitry, the wireless communication element comprising: a transmit path configured to convert the digital signal output by the digital circuitry into a wireless communication signal, the transmit path comprising a phase compensator configured to, based on a calculated phase error, convert the digital signal into a compensated digital signal, such that the transmit path may convert the compensated digital signal into the wireless communication signal; a phase error estimation path communicatively coupled to the transmit path, comprising: a summer configured to calculate a single-sample phase error equal to a difference between an estimated instantaneous reference phase of the digital signal output by the digital circuitry and an estimated transmit phase of the wireless communication signal; a phase error averager configured to calculate an averaged phase error based on a given number of samples of the single-sample phase error; the transmit path further comprising: a phase compensation table configured to: store the averaged phase error as an entry in the table corresponding to a present output power of the transmit path; and communicate a signal indicative of the value of the entry in the table corresponding to the present output power; and a multiplexer configured to select one of the single-sample phase error and the averaged phase error communicated by the phase compensation table as the calculated phase error. a transmit path configured to convert the digital signal output by the digital circuitry into a wireless communication signal, the transmit path comprising a phase compensator configured to, based on a calculated phase error, convert the digital signal into a compensated digital signal, such that the transmit path may convert the compensated digital signal into the wireless communication signal; a phase error estimation path communicatively coupled to the transmit path, comprising: a summer configured to calculate a single-sample phase error equal to a difference between an estimated instantaneous reference phase of the digital signal output by the digital circuitry and an estimated transmit phase of the wireless communication signal; a phase error averager configured to calculate an averaged phase error based on a given number of samples of the single-sample phase error; a summer configured to calculate a single-sample phase error equal to a difference between an estimated instantaneous reference phase of the digital signal output by the digital circuitry and an estimated transmit phase of the wireless communication signal; a phase error averager configured to calculate an averaged phase error based on a given number of samples of the single-sample phase error; the transmit path further comprising: a phase compensation table configured to: store the averaged phase error as an entry in the table corresponding to a present output power of the transmit path; and communicate a signal indicative of the value of the entry in the table corresponding to the present output power; and a multiplexer configured to select one of the single-sample phase error and the averaged phase error communicated by the phase compensation table as the calculated phase error. a phase compensation table configured to: store the averaged phase error as an entry in the table corresponding to a present output power of the transmit path; and communicate a signal indicative of the value of the entry in the table corresponding to the present output power; and store the averaged phase error as an entry in the table corresponding to a present output power of the transmit path; and communicate a signal indicative of the value of the entry in the table corresponding to the present output power; and a multiplexer configured to select one of the single-sample phase error and the averaged phase error communicated by the phase compensation table as the calculated phase error.
