Transmit power control
First Claim
1. A radio transmitter for use with a coherent radio receiver comprising:
- transmission circuitry configured to transmit radio pulses in accordance with an underlying pulse transmission rate;
receive circuitry configured to receive a message from an entity external to the radio transmitter comprising an indication of a target transmit power of the radio transmitter; and
power control circuitry configured to, in response to receiving said message, inhibit the transmission of selected radio pulses of the underlying pulse transmission rate so as to cause the transmission circuitry to transmit radio pulses at an effective pulse transmission rate having an average power in accordance with the target transmit power indication in the received message.

20. A method for controlling the transmit power of a radio transmitter configured to transmit radio pulses in accordance with an underlying pulse transmission rate, the method comprising:
-
receiving a message from an entity external to the radio transmitter comprising an indication of a target transmit power of the radio transmitter; in accordance with the indication in the message, selecting radio pulses of the underlying pulse transmission rate which are not to be transmitted; and inhibiting the transmission of the selected radio pulses so as to cause the transmission circuitry to transmit radio pulses at an effective pulse transmission rate having an average power in accordance with the target transmit power indication in the received message.
