Patent ID: 8198939

Claim:
A method for automatic amplifier gain profile configuration, comprising: (a) receiving an input signal by an amplifier; (b) configuring said amplifier according to a first gain profile; (c) measuring a first output power level of said amplifier based on said input signal; (d) configuring said amplifier according to a second gain profile; (e) measuring a second output power level of said amplifier based on said input signal; and (f) selecting between said first gain profile and said second gain profile based on a comparison of said first output power level and said second output power level, wherein step (f) further comprises: comparing a difference between said first output power level and said second output power level to a pre-determined threshold; selecting said first gain profile when said difference is greater than said pre-determined threshold; and selecting said second gain profile when said difference is lower than said pre-determined threshold.
