Abstract
A power detector for use in an RF receiver. The detector includes a power reference generator and a power quantizer. The power reference generator develops a power reference current, voltage, or signal as a function of a power transferred via a received RF signal. The power quantizer is responsive to the power reference current, voltage, or signal to develop a digital field power value indicative of the power reference current, voltage, or signal.
