14. A communications apparatus comprising:
-
a baseband system that provides in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signal components;
a correction system associated with the baseband system for adjusting at least one of the I and Q signal components based on an indication of power of a transmit signal to compensate for impairments associated with the communications apparatus;
a transmitter that provides the transmit signal based on the adjusted I and Q signal components; and
a power detector that detects power associated with the transmit signal and provides the indication of power. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
