Abstract
A device and method are provided for limiting a power of a signal transmitted through any antenna to a maximum transmission power of the antenna in a TSTD (Time-Switched Transmission Diversity) transmitter of a base station of a mobile communication system. In a TSTD transmitter including at least two antennas and a pattern storage for storing a maximum transmission power limit value and switching patterns of a plurality of user data to be transmitted through the antennas, transmission powers assigned to antennas are measured upon receipt of new user data. A switching pattern is determined such that a value obtained by adding one of the transmission powers to a transmission power of the new user data does not exceed the maximum transmission power limit value.
