Abstract
A gain control circuit for a radio transmitter, such as the radio transmitter portion of a radiotelephone operative to transmit a .pi./4 DQPSK-modulated signal in discrete bursts. The signal portion of the signal transmitted during each discrete burst forms a slot and at least one of the slots includes a pre-determined data sequence portion. The peak power level of the portion of the slot comprising the pre-determined data sequence portion, once amplified by amplifier circuitry of the radiotelephone, is compared with a stored value representative of the peak power level of a corresponding portion of a slot amplified to be of a desired signal level. Responsive to such comparison, the amplification level of the amplifier circuitry is altered.
