Disclosed is a method of operating an electronic device to transmit an RF signal. The method includes: selecting output power of a PA included in the electronic device, which is required when a signal is transmitted through an antenna included in the electronic device; determining input power of the PA corresponding to the output power of the PA by using at least one of a first data point, a second data point, or a plurality of data points stored in a memory included in the electronic device; and controlling output power of an RF transmission circuit included in the electronic device based on the input power, wherein the plurality of data points are generated by being linearly interpolated between the first data point and the second data point. Various embodiments are possible.

Operation method of electronic device for transmitting RF signal and electronic device thereof

A method for operating an electronic device for transmission of a radio frequency (RF) signal includes selecting output power of a power amplifier (PA) required upon transmission of a signal with a second frequency through an antenna, determining a first PA operation voltage corresponding to the selected output power using first information stored in a memory of the electronic device and second information regarding a PA operation voltage corresponding to first output power of the PA at the second frequency, supplying the determined first PA operation voltage to the PA, and supplying input power corresponding to the selected output power at the second frequency to the PA. Other various embodiments are possible.
