| 1. A method comprising: measuring transmitted power; and adjusting a power level of said a transmission path using fine and
coarse controls by:
lowering a baseband gain of a baseband modulator in said transmission path if said measured transmitted power is more than
a predetermined power level;
raising said baseband gain if said measured transmitted power is less than said predetermined power level;
raising an attenuation level of an attenuator in said transmission path and setting said baseband gain to a maximum if said
baseband gain is at a minimum and said measured transmitted power is more than said predetermined power level; and
lowering said attenuation level and setting said baseband gain to a minimum if said baseband gain is at a maximum and said
measured transmitted power is less than said predetermined power level.
