Zusammenfassung:A transceiver (100) includes a radio frequency power amplifier (116) which is biased by an active bias circuit (110). Active bias circuit (110) provides a low cost bias circuit for amplifier (116) which adjusts the bias over changes in temperature and supply voltage levels to provide a constant output power. A set of control inputs (122-126) coming from controller (108) provide for power output level adjustement for the amplifier (116) in a frequency modulated (FM) environment and for both power and modulation level adjustments in an amplitude modulated (AM) environment.
