Abstract
The invention provides systems, methods, and devices that compensate for temperature, frequency, and sampling effects in a broadband communication device's power measurements. One embodiment of a system includes a thermal device, and an automatic gain control circuit coupled to the thermal device. One method includes the acts of disabling a TOP operation, setting a RF input power, reading an AGC GAIN value, and setting the broadband communications device based on the read AGC value. Furthermore, a broadband communications device according to the invention may operate by disabling a TOP operation, setting a RF input power, reading an AGC GAIN value, and setting the broadband communications device based on the read AGC value.
