    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method and apparatus for monitoring and correcting a transmit signal. A first sample is taken before the signal is input to a digital to analog converter (DAC) in a transmit chain. A second sample is taken of the transmit signal after the signal has passed through the power amplifier (PA). The first and second transmit samples are then compared and an equalizer interpolation value is determined. This equalizer interpolation value is applied to the transmit signal before transmission to provide a transmit signal with improved quality. The apparatus includes a feedback receive correction unit; a time domain processor in communication with the feedback receive correction unit; a frequency domain processing equalizer in communication with the time domain processor; an equalizer interpolation unit; an absolute value squaring unit in communication with the equalizer interpolation unit; and a processor for computation of a transmit quality parameter.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for self-testing a GSM/EDGE communications device. An embodiment provides a method of measuring transmit power. A receive phase locked loop (PLL) is inserted into a feedback receiver local oscillator mixer. The receive PLL is then tuned to a local oscillator frequency. Once the tuning is complete, an I and a Q signal are captured using a channel of the feedback receiver. After capture, a I2+Q2 sum is computed, measuring the transmit power. The feedback receiver automatic gain control (AGC) may be used to determine transmit power in place of I2+Q2. The apparatus includes: a modem assembly, a power control assembly, a power amplifier, a duplexer, a coupler and a switch. The power control assembly further includes a first PLL and first and second mixers. The second mixer is connected to a feedback low noise amplifier and receives input from a feedback receiver PLL.
