A closed loop power control system for a radio frequency (RF) transmitter comprises a first variable gain element located in a power control loop and configured to receive a power level signal and an inverse representation of a power control signal, a second variable gain element located in the power control loop and configured to receive an error signal and the power control signal, and a third variable gain element configured to receive an amplitude modulated (AM) signal and the power control signal, the third variable gain element having a gain characteristic configured to operate to reduce the gain applied to the AM signal when the power control signal falls below a minimum predetermined value, and to provide the AM signal as a reference signal. |
