5.1.2. Automatic/Manual Power Control (ATPC/MTPC)
ATPC is an optional feature, which is aimed to drive the TX power amplifier output level from a proper
minimum, which is calculated to facilitate the radio network planning and is used in the case of normal
propagation, up to a maximum value, which is given in Chapter 3.3.1. When ATPC is disabled (i.e.
MTPC mode), the output power can be set by the user.
ATPC-figures:
Transmitter power output regulation speed > 50 dB/s
ATPC-range 20 dB
Nominal input level is adjustable by the user.
Adjustment range: -30 dBm to -60 dBm
In Hot Standby configuration it is recommended to use simultaneous switching of TX and Rx side within
a terminal, when ATPC is enabled.
MTPC figures:
MTPC range: 15 dB
1
Step size: 0.1 dB
Accuracy: See output power tolerance in Chapter 5.1.1
1
For compliance to optional ETSI mask requirement of -60 dBc in frequency bands from 3GHz to 8GHz, the
MTPC range is 10 dB.
