Tuning a station
First Claim
1. A method of tuning a station comprising the steps of:
- a) applying a first signal to a circuit of the station and subsequently detecting the resulting output power of the said circuit;
b) applying a second signal to the circuit and subsequently detecting the resulting output power of the circuit, said second signal being provided by changing the polarity of the first signal; and
c) compensating an offset of the circuit based on information of the resulting output power detected in steps a) and b).

Abstract
A method of tuning a station is disclosed, wherein a first pilot signal is applied on a circuit of the station and the resulting output power of the signal circuit is subsequently detected. A second pilot signal is then applied to the circuit and the resulting output power of the circuit is detected. The offset of the circuit is then tuned based on information of the resulting output power detected for the first and second signals. A station that is adapted to implement the method may be tuned by the manufacturer thereof or later after having already been taken into use. The tuning may occur automatically as response to a predefined event.
