1. A radio frequency device comprising:
a plurality of antennas;
a plurality of transmitters configured to send a plurality of transmission signals through the plurality of antennas;
a plurality of power detectors coupled to the plurality of transmitters;
a memory configured to store an antenna gain lookup table including a plurality of antenna gains for the plurality of antennas associated with beamforming; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the plurality of transmitters, the plurality of power detectors, and the memory, and configured to
instruct the plurality of transmitters to send the plurality of transmission signals using a plurality of input powers to form a first beamformed signal having a first beam direction at a first frequency,
in response to receiving a back off power signal, measure a plurality of radio frequency integrated circuit gains associated with the plurality of transmitters,
determine the plurality of antenna gains associated with the plurality of antennas based on the first beam direction, the first frequency, and the antenna gain lookup table,
in response to measuring the plurality of radio frequency integrated circuit gains and determining the plurality of antenna gains, calculate a plurality of total transmission gains based on the plurality of radio frequency integrated circuit gains and the plurality of antenna gains, and
adjust the plurality of input powers based on the plurality of total transmission gains and the back off power signal.
