Patent ID: 7068985

Claim:
A radio transmitter comprising: a power control table that includes a plurality of control values; a power amplifier that is configured to amplify with an adjustable gain an RF signal for transmission; and a power controller that is configured to adjust the gain of the power amplifier based on the control values of the power control table and a temperature signal that is indicative of a temperature of at least a portion of the radio transmitter, wherein: the power control table comprises a baseline power control table that defines a plurality of voltage values and corresponding timing values; and comprises a high temperature offset control table that defines a plurality of voltage values and corresponding timing values; and the power controller is further configured to adjust the gain of the power amplifier based on the baseline power control table when the temperature signal satisfies a predetermined baseline temperature value, and is configured to combine the values of the baseline power control table and the values of the high temperature offset control table to adjust the gain of the power amplifier when the temperature signal satisfies a predetermined high temperature value.
