CLGC ALGORITHM OVERVIEW

The CLGC algorithm is designed to maintain a constant loop gain, and overcome any minor fluctuations in the PA output power
due to variations in temperature and other operating conditions. Loop gain is defined as the ratio of the power level of observed
data to the power level of the baseband transmit data
The CLGC algorithm relies on the post PA feedback data to estimate the loop gain and adjust the front end Tx attenuation on the
transceiver. Shown in Figure 3 is the observation points of the CLGC algorithm.

Interpolators
The signal path from the reference baseband Tx input to the observed data for loop gain estimation can be divided into 4 sections
listed below. The total loop gain observed at the observation receiver(ORx) includes the front end attenuation out of the
transceiver, gain of the power amplifier, coupling attenuation for feedback and the observation receiver(ORx) front end
attenuation.

PA Section XPA(n) = gPA. Xtx(n) + vPA(n)
Coupling Section Yorx(n) = gCPL.XPA(n) + vorx(n)
