Abstract
A mechanism for controlling transmit power associated with a plurality of transmit chains of a beamforming transceiver system. A plurality of beamforming steering matrices associated with a plurality of subcarriers of an RF signal received at the transceiver system are generated. A maximum transmit power associated with each of the plurality of transmit chains of the transceiver system is calculated. A power scaling factor for each of the plurality of transmit chains is determined based, at least in part, on the beamforming steering matrices and the maximum transmit power associated with each transmit chain. At least one of the power scaling factors is applied to the plurality of transmit chains to control the transmit power associated with each transmit chain.
