Abstract
A method for calibrating a transmitter includes operating the transmitter using a first transmitter setting; obtaining, via an external reference measuring device, a transmit power reference value indicative of a first transmit power of the transmitter corresponding to the first transmitter setting, and obtaining, using an internal measuring device of the transmitter or of a receiver associated with the transmitter, a first uncalibrated transmit power measurement value corresponding to the first transmit power. The method further includes calibrating the internal measuring device using the transmit power reference value and the first uncalibrated transmit power measurement value to provide a calibrated internal measuring device, operating the transmitter using a second transmitter setting, and obtaining, using the calibrated internal measuring device, a second transmit power measurement value indicative of a second transmit power corresponding to the second transmitter setting. Lastly, the method includes obtaining self-calibration data based on the second transmitter setting and the second transmit power measurement value, and storing the self-calibration data in a calibration data structure.
