LOW RADIATION WIRELESS COMMUNICATOR
First Claim
1. A wireless communicator, comprising:
- a modem operable to transmit and receive voice communication phone calls;
a power amplifier coupled with said modem operable to dynamically apply a variable gain factor to voice communications transmitted by said modem, to produce an appropriate power output; and
a controller coupled with said modem comprising a radiation monitor operable to monitor the power output of said power amplifier, the controller being operable to restrict operation of said modem, based on data provided by the radiation monitor, when the cumulative power output produced by said power amplifier exceeds a pre-designated daily cumulative power limit.
