Abstract: The exemplary embodiments include methods, computer readable media, and devices for calibrating a non-linear power detector of a radio frequency device based upon measurements of the non-linear power detector output and the associated power amplifier output level, and a set of data points that characterize a nominal non-linear power detector. The set of data points that characterize the nominal non-linear power detector is stored in a calibration system memory as nominal power detector output data. The measured non-linear power detector outputs, power amplifier output levels, and the nominal power detector output data is used to determine a power detector error function that characterizes the difference between the response of the non-linear power detector and the nominal non-linear power detector. The power detector error function and the nominal power detector output data are used to develop a calibrated power detector output data set that is stored in the non-linear power detector.

Abstract: An analog voltage-controlled phase shifter is disclosed which is smaller in size and provides a larger phase shift for a smaller change of capacitance of presently available voltage controlled phase shifters. These unexpected advantages are obtained by using lumped elements to simulate the normally used .lambda./4 transmission lines of the hybrid portion of the phase shifter and by eliminating or reducing the value of the capacitors normally present at the varactor nodes of the hybrid. The capacitance fully or partially removed from the varactor nodes of the hybrid can be selectively fully or partially added to the varactors.
