A method and apparatus for controlling the power of a transmit amplifier wherein a portion of the power transmitted from the antenna is received by a coupling element and is converted via a radio-frequency detector to a DC voltage value which is used for power control, such that there is no longer any need for complex use of a directional coupler between the transmit amplifier and the antenna.

Method and apparatus for regulating the power of a transmit amplifier

Integrated antenna coupler element, in particular for a multiband terminal of a mobile radio system, with an operating voltage connection, an antenna input/output, a transmit signal input, a received signal output, a transmit/receive control signal input, a required transmit power input and a control voltage transmit output stage output.

Integrated antenna coupler element

A wide band, transistorized power transmitter for the execution of radio traffic requires a filter arrangement consisting of a large number of sub-filters because of the insufficient linearity of the transmitter end stage between the output of the transmitter end stage and the transmitter output. Depending upon the adjusted transmitter frequency, in order to suppress undesired harmonics, one of the sub-filters is switched into the signal path. The relays normally used to switch on and off the sub-filter are unsuitable for carryout out frequency jump operation. By effecting a suitable sub-division of the sub-filters of the filter arrangement into two and more sub-filter groups, between which it is possible to carry out a rapid and non-abrasive switch-over by way of electronic power switches, it is possible without too high an expense to carry out a frequency jump interval which can be arbitrarily adjusted within the overall frequency range.
