ABSTRACT:
A power level sense circuit which is substantially immune to variations in integrated circuit processing and operating temperature. The sense circuit uses a diode biased to a predetermined average conduction level as the primary element in an envelope detector to detect the envelope of the RF transmit signal. While the DC offset of the diode will vary with temperature and integrated circuit processing, the DC offset is eliminated by an auto zeroing procedure before each power sensing cycle.
