A system and method are disclosed for controlling transmitter output levels in a wireless communications device. The system comprises: a transmitter configured to accept an adjusted transmit bias control value and to supply a transmitter output level in response to the adjusted transmit bias control value; and a gain control circuit configured to supply the adjusted transmit bias control value in response to a transmitter output measurement and to a reference. The gain control circuit comprises a measuring circuit configured to accept the transmitter output level and to supply a transmitter output measurement, a table of initial transmit bias control values cross-referenced to transmitter output levels, the table configured to accept a transmitter output level selection and to supply an initial transmit bias control value in response to the transmitter output level selection, and, a compensator configured to accept the adjusted transmit bias control value and the initial transmit bias control value and to supply a compensated transmit bias control value based on a difference between the adjusted bias control value and the initial transmit bias control value.

System and method for controlling transmitter output levels in a wireless communications device

A system and method are provided for controlling transmitter output levels in a wireless communications device. The method comprises: maintaining a table of initial transmit bias control values cross-referenced to transmitter output levels; selecting transmitter output levels; supplying an initial transmit bias control value from the table corresponding to a selected transmitter output level; generating an initial transmitter output level; measuring the transmitter output level; creating an adjusted transmit bias control value in response to the measured transmitter output level, and to a reference value; using the difference between the initial transmit bias control value and the corresponding adjusted transmit bias control value to create an error value; saving the error value; and adding the error value to a subsequent initial transmit bias control value.
