Abstract
Circuits and methods related to power detectors for radio-frequency (RF) applications. In some embodiments, a power amplifier (PA) system can include a PA circuit having a driver stage and an output stage. The PA system can further include a detector configured to receive a portion of an RF signal from a path between the driver stage and the output stage. The detector can be further configured to generate an output signal representative of power associated with the RF signal and compensated for variation in at least one operating condition associated with the PA circuit.
