METHOD FOR POWER DETECTION OF MULTICARRIER SIGNALS, RADIO TRANSMISSION UNIT AND MODULE FOR SUCH A UNIT

摘要

The invention relates to method for determining the power of signals transmitted by a radio transmission unit with several carriers over the air interface. In order to allow for a simple power detection of multicarrier signals, it is proposed that, while the air-interface is not used for data transmission, the method comprises: transmitting a modulated signal using a first carrier and determining its power; transmitting additionally a modulated signal using a further carrier; determining the total power of the sum of the modulated signals transmitted with said first and said further carrier; and determining the power of the modulated signal using said further carrier by subtracting the first determined power from the determined total power. The invention equally relates to a corresponding radio transmission unit and to a corresponding module for such a unit.
