Abstract
A radio frequency output power control system is disclosed for use in communication systems that use a modulation scheme having a non-constant amplitude envelope. The system includes a power amplifier having a radio frequency input node for receiving a radio frequency input signal, a power control node for receiving a filtered power control signal, and an output for providing an amplified output signal. The system also includes a variable filter that receives a power control signal at a power control input and a receives a trigger signal at a trigger input, and provides a filtered power control signal to the power control node of the power amplifier responsive to the power control signal and the trigger signal.
