A method and system for using a low-cost, fixed output power radio in a multi-carrier communication system is disclosed herein. This system measures the output power of the multiple channel units within the system, obtains the current output power of the system, calculates a composite power and an expected power, compares the expected power and the current output power to calculate a gain adjustment value, and adjusting the output power of the system via the amplifier. The method for adjusting the power can also allow at least one of the carriers in the multi-carrier system to operate in a burst mode, and at least one of the remaining carriers to operate in a continuous mode during power measurement and gain adjustment steps.

Operation of low-cost, fixed output power radio in fixed gain mode

A method and device for canceling frequency offsets in received modulated signals. The frequency offset cancellation device includes a downconverter module, a channel unit and a control module. The downconverter module shifts received signals to a lower frequency. The channel unit searches the shifted received signals and demodulates them, and the control module adjusts the downconverter in accordance with frequency offset information generated by the channel unit, thereby continuously cancelling out any frequency offsets that may have occurred during frequency shifting.
