Abstract
Method for controlling the power gain for outputting a transmitted signal from a radio device. At the beginning of the transmitted signal, the output power is increased to a preset power level along a preset characteristic curve. At the end of the transmitted signal, the preset power is decreased along the preset characteristic curve. The power gain is controlled accordingly by a control signal (8, 9). A reference control signal (5) is used for the rising and falling edges of the control signal (8, 9). The control signal (8, 9) is limited to a preset maximum control signal value (6, 7).
Claims9
A method for controlling a power gain for outputting a transmitted signal from a radio device, comprising the steps of:
- increasing an output power to a preset power level along a preset characteristic curve at a beginning of the transmitted signal;
- decreasing the output power along the preset characteristic curve at an end of the transmitted signal;
- using a reference control signal for a rising edge and a falling edge of a control signal, the control signal controlling accordingly the power gain;
- limiting the control signal to a preset maximum control signal value;
- and
- outputting the transmitted signal with a preset time delay, the preset time delay being a function of at least a preset power level for outputting the transmitted signal.
