Abstract: A technique for admission control of packet flows is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for output power dithering for improved transmitter performance. The method may comprise transmitting a plurality of packets at a first output power, determining a first error rate associated with the transmission of the plurality of packets at the first output power, transmitting the plurality of packets at at least one second output power different from the first output power, determining at least one second error rate associated with the transmission at the at least one second output power, and identifying a desired output power based at least in part on a comparison between the first error rate and the at least one second error rate.

Abstract: A multiple band transmitter including first and second transmit amplifier paths, where the first transmit amplifier path conducts a first transmit signal at a first frequency band and the second transmit amplifier path conducts a second transmit signal at a second frequency band. The second transmit amplifier path includes an amplifier that generates the second transmit signal along with a harmonic frequency within a passband of the first transmit amplifier path. The second transmit amplifier path further includes a trap circuit that shunts the harmonic frequency away from the first transmit amplifier path.
