  • Patent number: 7489909
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling a TX power amplifier are provided. The method is for generating a power control curve in an inter-slot region between two continuous or adjacent time slots, which respectively have different modulation types. The method and apparatus produces a concave inter-slot ramp control curve for reducing the power of the TX power amplifier in the inter-slot region, where the power for signal transmission is transformed from a first power value K1 to a second power value K2. The method and apparatus further estimates a transient period of the concave inter-slot ramp control curve, during which modulation switching of the TX power amplifier may occur.

  • Publication number: 20060160569
    Abstract: A cellular phone is provided. A connector is used for connecting cellular phone physically to a connection port of a computer. A nonvolatile storage device stores data received from the computer. A controller determines whether the cellular phone operates in a storage mode or a phone mode. When the cellular phone operates in the storage mode, it receives data from the computer via the connector, and stores the received data in the storage device. When the cellular phone operates in the phone mode, it executes a default functionality of the cellular phone.
