Abstract
A radio communications device includes a transmitter, a switch, and a measurement circuit wherein the transmitter transmits radio communications at a transmitted power. The switch couples a portion of the transmitted power during spaced apart intervals of time and blocks coupling of the portion of the transmitted power between the spaced apart intervals of time. The measuring circuit measures the coupled portion of the transmitted power during the spaced apart intervals of time. The radio communications device can also include a feedback circuit that maintains the transmitted power at a desired level responsive to the coupled portion of the transmitted power.
