Abstract: It is determined, e.g., in a communications terminal, that a test triggering event has occurred. A test is initiated based on the determination that the test triggering event has occurred. One or more transmissions are transmitted at one or more respective specified power levels. Measurement data is received from a remote measurement unit indicating respective received power levels of the one or more transmissions by the remote measurement unit. Based on the measurement data, a maximum transmit power level is determined.

Abstract: A device is provided for use with an input signal including a first packet of a first modulation type in series with a second packet of a second modulation type. The device includes a gain adjustment portion and a gain portion. The gain adjustment portion can output a first gain adjustment signal based on the first packet or can output a second gain adjustment signal based on the second packet. The gain portion can output a first signal corresponding to the first packet and can output a second signal corresponding to the second packet. The first signal is based on the input signal and a first gain factor. The second signal is based on the input signal and a second gain factor. The first gain factor is based on the first gain adjustment signal. The second gain factor is based on the second gain adjustment signal.

Abstract: An RF emission hazard zone of an RF transceiver is controlled to ensure that RF energy density limits for humans is not exceeded when a human body part enters the RF hazard zone near an antenna reflector and feedhorn. In a first aspect, a transmitter duty cycle is reduced to effectively reduce the average power transmitted from the antenna whenever a signal level of a received signal is reduced below a threshold value. The reduction in average transmitter power reduces the RF emission hazard zone near the antenna, and limits the exposure of any person who has intruded into the hazard zone. In a second aspect, the transmitter is disabled whenever a received signal is affected so that signal quality, bit-energy-to-noise ratio (Eb/No), synchronized state in a demodulator, lock condition in a FLL, or received signal strength are degraded, indicating that a human has intruded into the RF hazard zone.
