ABSTRACT:
A power detector for measuring the power transfer between a circuit for emitting an electrical signal and a first conductor that receives the emitted electrical signal. The emitted signal causes a magnetic field to be generated in the first conductor. A coupling detection circuit measures an electric current that arises in a second conductor that is proximate and electrically coupled to the first conductor. The measured electric current in the second conductor is used to determine the power transfer between the emitting circuit and the first conductor. The first and second conductors can be bond wires within an integrated circuit package, and the coupling detection circuit can be disposed in a semiconductor substrate within the integrated circuit package.
