1. A computer program product having a computer readable medium with computer program logic recorded thereon for implementing control of a modular power amplifier system having a driver assembly that provides an input signal to a plurality of amplifier modules, comprising:

  • means for polling said plurality of amplifier modules so to determine respective operational states of said plurality of amplifier modules, said plurality of amplifier modules providing an amplified output signal to a radial combiner that outputs a composite output signal by combining respective output signals from said plurality of amplifier modules;

    means for obtaining a sample of said composite output signal;

    means for processing said sample so as to determine an output forward power of said output signal and whether said output forward power is within a predetermined range;

    means for determining a signal level adjustment indicator on a basis of whether said output forward power is within said predetermined range and on a number of said amplifier modules operating in a transmit state of operation; and

    means for adjusting a level of said input signal at said driver by an amount corresponding to the signal level adjustment indicator.
