Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) module capable of self-calibration is provided. According to an embodiment, the RF module includes an RF signal processor, a plurality of RF signal paths, an antenna switch module (ASM), and a power detector. The RF signal paths are connected between the RF signal processor and the ASM. The ASM has an antenna port and selectively connects the RF signal processor to the antenna port through one of the RF signal paths. The power detector is operative to detect power of an RF transmission signal that exits the antenna port of the ASM and enters an antenna when the ASM connects an RF transmission path of the RF signal paths to the antenna port of the ASM.
