  • Method and apparatus for a transceiver having a constant power output
    Patent number: 7170953
    Abstract: The present invention includes a transceiver and a method of operating the same that includes in the transmitter a power control circuit that operates on an analog differential signal containing data packets individually. The power control circuit initially transmits a series of data symbols with known values, periodically strobes the transceiver system for correct power levels and incrementally increases the power level of the transceiver until the optimal gain is reached, without exceeding the maximum output power.
