A system and method for detecting proximity of a user within a particular distance of a radio device is disclosed. The method includes transmitting a signal via a transmitter and antenna of the radio device, receiving a received signal via a receiver and the antenna, processing the received signal for distinguishing a signal reflected from the user from a leaked portion of the transmitted signal, and reducing power of the radio device in response to the processing.

A method for providing IQ mismatch (IQMM) compensation includes: estimating an overall frequency response of a compensation filter by stepping through a frequency range starting at an initial frequency and performing (1) through (3) at each step, a selected frequency at each step being a multiple of a subcarrier frequency of the initial frequency: (1) sending a single tone signal at the selected frequency, (2) determining a first response of a mismatched signal at the selected frequency and a second response of the mismatched signal at an image frequency of the selected frequency, and (3) estimating a frequency response of the compensation filter at the selected frequency based on the first response and the second response; generating time-domain filter taps based on the estimated overall frequency response of the compensation filter; determining a time delay based on the time-domain filter taps; and generating a compensated signal based on the time delay.

According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a pre-transmission circuit configured to encode a data signal for communication. The apparatus may include a peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) controlling circuit configured to set a power level for a level-adjusted data signal. In some embodiments, the PAPR circuit may be configured to set the power level by employing a multi-loop, multi-phase technique, wherein an inner loop employs multiple phases to constrain the PAPR and reduce at least one power-related error condition, and wherein an outer loop updates the power level. The apparatus may include a transmitter circuit configured to transmit the level-adjusted data signal.
