Patent ID: 8073074

Claim:
A power control loop comprising: a feed forward unit coupled to a data source, the feed forward unit configured to process a signal for transmission; a feedback unit coupled to the feed forward unit, the feedback unit configured to generate a feedback signal representative of an output power level of the signal processed for transmission by the feed forward unit; a closed loop power control unit coupled to the feedback unit and to the feed forward unit, the closed loop power control unit configured to generate an additive correction signal based on an error signal computed from the feedback signal and data provided by the data source, wherein the additive correction signal is computed using a regulated control algorithm, wherein the additive correction signal is added to the data; and a ramp path power control unit coupled to the data source, the ramp path power control unit configured to generate a multiplicative correction signal based on an additive correction signal and data provided by the data source, wherein the multiplicative correction signal is used to scale the data.
