Abstract

An output power of an RF power amplifier PA having amplifier transistors having coupled outputs, is sensed by a power detection circuit having a sensing transistor B having a common input circuit with one or more of the amplifier transistors A. By sharing a common input circuit, any changes in the output load on the PA influences the output of not only the PA transistors, but also the output of the sensing transistor. This can help overcome electrical mismatch and keep the sensing transistor is in saturation when the amplifier transistors are in saturation. A common base connection can mean collector currents of the sensing and amplifier transistors are forced to be close. Accuracy can be further increased by locating the detection circuit centrally in a row of amplifier transistors and having feed resistor and feed capacitor matched in shape to corresponding components of the amplifier.
