Filtered digital information representative of the power of an output
signal from an amplifier is generated, and control information from a
setpoint representative of a desired power for the output signal is
generated from the desired response time for the establishment of the
power and from a model to be followed for the establishment. In addition,
a gain control and a bias current control are established for each
initial variable-gain amplifier from the filtered digital information,
from the control information and from a polynomial digital regulation of
the RST type whose polynomial coefficients are determined from input
parameters comprising characteristics of each variable-gain amplifier and
from characteristics of the filter generating the filtered digital
information.
