1. A module comprising:
a gain modifier;
a power detector configured to detect a power output of the gain modifier; and a controller configured to:
determine, from n samples from the power detector, a mean of the n samples taken by the power detector;
determine, from the n samples from the power detector, a maximum peak of the n samples taken by the power detector;
determine, from the n samples from the power detector, a minimum peak of the n samples taken by the power detector;
determine, based on at least one characteristic of a modulated signal, a boundary to mean ratio of the n samples, wherein the boundary is determined using the maximum peak or the minimum peak, and the at least one characteristic of the modulated signal;
adjust a detected value of the power detector based on the mean and the boundary to mean ratio; and
control gain of the gain modifier based on the adjusted detected value.
