“…A power detector (PD) plays a vital role in testing and calibrating power that is received or transmitted, and it is widely used in wireless communication systems or radar systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. As shown in Figure 1, the power detector is used to test or calibrate the output power of the power amplifier (PA) or the gain of the low noise amplifier (LNA) [2,4].…”

In this paper, a wide dynamic range RMS power detector with an operating frequency from 24 GHz to 35 GHz mm-wave frequency is presented. The power detector is fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process. It is composed of a power detector unit, a radio frequency signal attenuator and a linear proportional voltage adder. The equalization technique is used to achieve a good linearity performance. The input dynamic range of the power detector is expanded by using one radio frequency signal attenuator and five power detector units. The simulation results show the slope of VOUT versus input power remaining constant at around 0.06 V/dBm when the input signal power varies from −10 dBm to 10 dBm. The difference in output voltage varies by only 0.03 V when the input power varies from −10 to 0 dBm and 0 to 10 dBm. These all indicate that the proposed power detector achieves a good linearity performance. The measured results also show that the proposed power detector achieves a wide dynamic range and a high linearity performance from −10 dBm to 10 dBm. The detectable dynamic range is enhanced by 3.3 times compared to that achieved when only using one single power detector unit, while it only consumes about 0.75 mW under a 1.2 V supply voltage.

“…Several methods have been proposed and applied to improve the performance of power detectors. The method based on electro-thermal coupling is proposed for radio frequency signal power detection in paper [1]. But the detection sensitivity and dynamic range are limited because the electro-thermal sense method needs a diode or bipolar.…”

We have been working in the field of temperature sensors and temperature measurements to test analogue circuits during the past 10 years. As we have presented different works in many conferences, we have collected many interesting questions, some of them collected more than once!. Here you have some of them. Our goal in this paper\ud is to introduce temperature measurements and temperature sensors to test analog circuits from the highest level of abstraction. This paper has been written with the goal to provide basic understanding and present some of the possibilities of temperature sensors and measurements to test integrated circuits in general, analog in particular.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
