Abstract

An example log power detector includes a gain or attenuation circuit and a detector circuit. The gain or attenuation circuit includes a plurality of gain or attenuation elements arranged in a sequence, each gain or attenuation element configured to generate an output signal that is an amplified or attenuated version of an input signal provided thereto. The detector circuit includes a plurality of detectors, each detector configured to receive the output signal from a different one of the gain or attenuation elements and to generate a signal indicative of a power of the received output signal. At least the last detector is configured to receive a DC offset signal that is different from a DC offset signal received by at least one other detector. Such a log detector may provide effective noise compensation to reduce errors caused by input noise, especially for low-power and/or high-frequency input signals.
