1. A computer-implemented method for setting RF transmit power of a wireless device, the computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, power response data for a power detector of the wireless device, the power response data providing a relationship between power detector readings from the power detector and measured transmit power of a transmitter of the wireless device;
identifying, by the computing system, a target power detector reading value corresponding to a target transmit power based at least in part on the power response data by:
accessing, by the computing system, the power response data to determine a target power detector reading associated with the target transmit power in a first channel;
obtaining, by the computing system, a channel correction factor based at least in part on a characterization of power detector reading with respect to frequency; and
applying, by the computing system, the channel correction factor to the target power detector reading to correct the target power detector reading to a second channel, the second channel being different from the first channel;
initializing, by the computing system, a transmitter gain of the transmitter to an initial transmitter gain value;
obtaining, by the computing system, a power detector reading value from the power detector;
determining, by the computing system, that a difference between the power detector reading value and the target power detector reading value is greater than a tolerance margin; and
adjusting, by the computing system, a transmitter gain value of the transmitter in a direction of the difference between the power detector reading value and the target power detector reading value.
