Aspects of this disclosure relate to methods of detecting power associated with an individual carrier of a carrier aggregated signal. According to an embodiment, a method can include detecting an indication of power of a first carrier of an aggregated carrier. The method can also include, separately from detecting power of the first carrier, detecting an indication of power of a second carrier of the aggregated carrier. A power associated with a radio frequency source, such as a power amplifier, can be adjusted based on the indication of power of the first carrier.
