Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for independently adjusting the forward channel power level of each time division burst period of a frame of a time divided signal. The disclosed invention teaches the splitting of the time divided signal for provision to independently controllable circuits associated with each burst period of the frame. Each independently controllable circuit includes a controllable attenuator/amplifier and switching device. The attenuator/amplifier is operated to adjust the power level of its associated burst period to a predetermined magnitude. Thereafter, the switching device operates to direct each power adjusted burst period to be transmitted within a predetermined beam of a multi-beam antenna array.
