A system and method for controlling transmitted output power of hand held wireless devices used with external antenna units. Transmit power of information signals is controlled in the hand held device by obtaining design specification parameters of the antenna unit, which includes an output power measurement of the information signal transmitting from the antenna unit, which may also be referred to as an outdoor unit. The output power measurement is used by the hand held device, to adjust the power of the transmitted information signal. The output power measurement is determined in the antenna unit by obtaining a digital output power measurement, modulating the power measurement, and transmitting the modulated measurement signal to the hand held device. The modulated measurement signal is received by a cradle supporting the hand held device, or the device itself and demodulated. The hand held device uses the measurement to adjust the transmit power of the information signal.

A system and method for controlling transmitted output power of autonomous hand held devices and external antenna units. Transmit power of an information signal is controlled in the hand held device utilizing multiple units for transmission. The transmit power is controlled by obtaining a temperature compensated power measurement of the information signal transmitting from the antenna unit. The temperature compensated power measurement is determined by either a software or a hardware compensation scheme. The software temperature compensation scheme involves identifying a power detector output and temperature output within the antenna unit and sending both outputs through a power estimator, where the power estimator utilizes voltage-temperature correlation equations, to produce the temperature compensated power measurement. The hardware temperature compensation scheme involves the use of a temperature compensation circuit made up of a diode pair, an amplifier, a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, and a positive temperature coefficient thermistor. The diode pair is used to provide a true average of the current power input and sends its output to the amplifier.

Transmit power of an external antenna unit coupled to a wireless device is controlled by obtaining an output power measurement of the information signal transmitting from an antenna unit, which when operating with wireless network technology may also be referred to as an outdoor unit. The output power measurement is used by a hand held device, to adjust the power of the transmitted information signal. The output power measurement is determined by obtaining an output power measurement, modulating the power measurement onto a carrier, and transmitting the modulated measurement signal to hand held device. The modulated measurement signal is received by a cradle or hand held wireless device and demodulated. The hand held device uses the measurement to adjust the transmit power of the information signal.

The present invention provides a tunable ferro-electric multiplexer for use in CDMA communication devices. Tunable ferro-electric capacitors are used to tune the resonant frequencies of several resonators used in a multiplexer and to tune the frequency response shape of the multiplexer. A low loss ferro-electric material and configuration is provided. The tunable multiplexer is smaller and has less insertion loss than a fixed tuned multiplexer.

A tunable ferroelectric component and a narrowband resonant circuit for measuring the loss of the ferroelectric component. The ferroelectric component may be a capacitor integrated in the resonant circuit. The testing method eliminates other sources of loss to isolate the loss due to the ferroelectric material and to demonstrate that this loss is low.

The present invention quantifies and reduces losses in tunable bandpass filters having ferro-electric capacitors. Given a required insertion loss and the quality factor of a resonator, the geometric losses resulting from a particular topology for the ferro-electric capacitor and the metal losses are accounted for to quantify the allowable ferro-electric losses.

A family of FE dielectric-tuned antennas and a method for frequency tuning a wireless communications antenna are provided. The method comprises: forming a radiator; forming a dielectrict with ferroelectric material proximate to the radiator; applying a voltage to the ferroelectric material; in response to applying the voltage, generating a dielectric constant; and, in response to the dielectric constant, communicating electromagnetic fields at a resonant frequency. Some aspects of the method further comprise: varying the applied voltage; and, modifying the resonant frequency in response to changes in the applied voltage. Modifying the resonant frequency includes forming an antenna with a variable operating frequency responsive to the applied voltage. Alternately stated, forming an antenna with a variable operating frequency includes forming an antenna with a predetermined fixed characteristic impedance, independent of the resonant frequency.
