Abstract: A method for improving the output signal of a mobile terminal, in particular a UMTS mobile terminal, comprises the steps of clipping said signal for decreasing its peak to average power ratio to a predefined threshold; submitting said clipped signal to a power amplifier designed to amplify the clipped signal. Thus, the power amplifier design of the mobile terminal becomes independent of the number of channels used in the digital processing chain of the mobile terminal.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to design a stably controlled RF amplifier for controlling the level characteristic of an RF signal, particularly a TDMA radio signal, whose desired-level characteristic is predetermined anew from one time interval to the next.An RF amplifier (PA) has a control circuit (CC) which controls a change of the level characteristic (SL) of an RF signal (Pin, Pout) from time interval to time interval by evaluating the actual-level characteristic of the RF signal differently within two or more segments (AT, GT) of the respective time interval (T1[k]). Advantageously, the control action of the RF amplifier during a first segment (GT), in which the signal level changes from one step to the next, differs from that during the second segment (AT), in which the signal level is constant. Temporary storage of correction values permits stable off-line control.
