    Abstract: A temperature compensation circuit for a power amplifier is provided, wherein data of circuit configurations corresponding to specific temperatures (including data associated with an output terminal voltage, a bias voltage, an adaptive bias, and a matching impedance of the power amplifier) for the power amplifier is stored in a read-only memory. Therefore, the temperature compensation circuit is capable of reading the data according to a temperature sensing signal to adjust the circuit configuration of the power amplifier accordingly, thereby, in a case of a constant input power of the power amplifier, an output power variance of the power amplifier is within a second interval (e.g., −10%˜+10%) when an environment temperature varies within a first interval. Therefore, the power amplifier has a stable gain.

    Abstract: A logarithmic power detector includes a power distributor, a first detection circuit, a second detection circuit and an output circuit. The power distributor is used to generate a first power signal and a second power signal according to an input signal. The first detection circuit is used to attenuate the first power signal to generate a first rectified signal, filter the first rectified signal to generate a first low-pass signal, and amplify the first low-pass signal to generate a first amplification current. The second detection circuit is used to attenuate the second power signal to generate a second rectified signal, filter the second rectified signal to generate a second low-pass signal, and amplify the second low-pass signal to generate a second amplification current. The output circuit is used to receive the first amplification current and the second amplification current to generate a converted voltage related to the input signal.

    Abstract: A power amplifier configured to amplify a received input signal, and the power amplifier includes a bias circuit and an output stage circuit. The bias circuit includes a reference voltage circuit and a bias generating circuit. The reference voltage circuit receives the first system voltage and provides a reference voltage according to a first system voltage, and the reference voltage changes as the temperature of the wafer changes. The bias generating circuit receives the second system voltage and the reference voltage, and generates an operating voltage. The output stage circuit is coupled to the bias circuit to receive the operating voltage and the driving current to receive and amplify the input signal. When a chip temperature is changed, the bias generating circuit changes the operating voltage according to the reference voltage, such that the driving current approaches a predetermined value as the chip temperature rises.
