1. A method for precise transmit power adjustment of a radio signal, the method comprising:
- coarse adjusting a power level of the radio signal by adjusting a gain setting of an amplifier that is used to power the radio signal; and
fine adjusting the power level of the radio signal by adjusting a voltage level of an information signal that is provided to the amplifier so that the power level of the radio signal approaches a maximum allowable power level.
