Abstract
A transmitter includes a Power Amplifier (PA), an antenna, at least one passive component and control circuitry. The PA is controlled by a PA control voltage, is operative to amplify a Radio Frequency (RF) signal and has input and output amplifier terminals. The passive component has an input component terminal coupled to the output amplifier terminal of the PA and an output component terminal coupled to the antenna. The control circuitry is configured to determine an interim power level at the output amplifier terminal that causes the signal at the output component terminal to have a target output power level, to determine, based on the interim power level, a given PA control voltage that makes the interim power level producible by the PA, so that the signal at the output component terminal has the target output power level, and to apply the given PA control voltage to the PA.
