Abstract
A communications device determines transmitted signal power by providing the transmitted signal to a signal strength indication (SSI) processor that detects voltage of the transmitted signal and determines signal power of the transmitted signal during normal operation by searching a calibration table of the SSI processor and correlating the detected transmitted signal voltage to stored signal power values. The calibration table is constructed by providing transmitted signals to the SSI processor during a calibration phase of operation, detecting the transmitted signal power, and storing the transmitted signal voltage level with the detected transmitted signal power, for a plurality of transmitted signals. Thus, the SSI processor combines the function of a conventional RSSI processor and also performs measurement of the transmitted signal power.
