Method for setting rf transmit power of a wireless device
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11924656B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for setting RF transmit power of a wireless device. The method involves obtaining power response data for a power detector of the wireless device, identifying a target power detector reading value corresponding to a target transmit power, initializing a transmitter gain, obtaining a power detector reading value, and adjusting the transmitter gain value based on the difference between the actual and target power detector readings. The method also includes configuring the wireless device for wireless communications based on the transmitter gain value, utilizing a power response lookup table, and establishing the power response data during an RF calibration stage.
Furthermore, the patent extends to a wearable device that incorporates a transmitter with a power detector, one or more processors, and nonvolatile memory devices storing computer-readable instructions. The wearable device performs operations such as obtaining power response data, identifying a target power detector reading value, initializing the transmitter gain, obtaining a power detector reading value, and adjusting the transmitter gain value based on predefined tolerance margins. Additionally, the wearable device can be configured for wireless communications based on the transmitter gain value, utilizes a power response lookup table, and establishes the power response data during an RF calibration stage. This innovative method ensures efficient and accurate control of RF transmit power in wireless devices, particularly in wearable technology like LTE transmitters, enhancing overall performance and reliability.
