Abstract
The present invention concerns a circuitry for widening the power control range of radio telephone. A radio frequency signal is amplified in a controllable power amplifier (1). According to the invention, after the amplifier a controllable switch (4) is connected, which, while in a first state, does not substantially attenuate the RF power emitted transmitted from the power amplifier (1). The first power control range of the transmitter is thus produced. When the switch (4) is in a second state, it directs part of the RF power transmitted from the power amplifier (1) to a resistive element (R1) and permits part of the RF power to be transmitted to the output (RFout) of the transmitter. A second power control range is produced in this manner.
