ABSTRACT:
A detection circuit includes a bias circuit configured to generate a first bias voltage and a second bias voltage. The detection circuit further includes a storage device configured to store a detection value corresponding to an amplitude of a radio frequency signal received at a detector input. A series connection of a first diode element and a second diode element includes first tap to receive the first bias voltage and the radio frequency signal, a second tap which is coupled to a connection node of the first and the second diode element to receive the second bias voltage and a third tap to provide the detection value.
