摘要: A system for varying output power of variable-gain amplifiers (VGA) allows for varying the output power transfer function, thus varying the gain, and, hence, the resolution of the output power of the VGA. The preferred embodiment comprises a variable-slope VGA (VSVGA) circuit configured to operate within a closed-loop power-controlled CDMA handset. The VSVGA circuit manipulates the input control voltage of the VGA, thereby, adjusting the gain of the amplifier by varying the slope of a line which models the amplifier output transfer function. Varying gain of the VGA provides for a varying resolution in the VGA amplifier output transfer function. This variation allows for compatibility of a single CDMA handset with different industry standards.
