* \brief a linear model of the Wifi transmit current
*
* This model assumes that the transmit current is a linear function
* of the nominal transmit power used to send the frame.
* In particular, the power absorbed during the transmission of a frame \f$ W_{tx} \f$
* is given by the power absorbed by the power amplifier \f$ W_{pa} \f$ plus the power
* absorbed by the RF subsystem. The latter is assumed to be the same as the power
* absorbed in the IDLE state \f$ W_{idle} \f$.
*
* The efficiency \f$ \eta \f$ of the power amplifier is given by
* \f$ \eta = \frac{P_{tx}}{W_{pa}} \f$, where \f$ P_{tx} \f$ is the output power, i.e.,
* the nominal transmit power. Hence, \f$ W_{pa} = \frac{P_{tx}}{\eta} \f$
*
* It turns out that \f$ W_{tx} = \frac{P_{tx}}{\eta} + W_{idle} \f$. By dividing both
* sides by the supply voltage \f$ V \f$: \f$ I_{tx} = \frac{P_{tx}}{V \cdot \eta} + I_{idle} \f$,
* where \f$ I_{tx} \f$ and \f$ I_{idle} \f$ are, respectively, the transmit current and
* the idle current.
*
* For more information, refer to:
* Francesco Ivan Di Piazza, Stefano Mangione, and Ilenia Tinnirello.
* "On the Effects of Transmit Power Control on the Energy Consumption of WiFi Network Cards",
* Proceedings of ICST QShine 2009, pp. 463--475
*
* If the tx current corresponding to a given nominal transmit power is known, the efficiency
* of the power amplifier is given by the above formula:
* \f$ \eta = \frac{P_{tx}}{(I_{tx}-I_{idle})\cdot V} \f$
