A power detector having temperature compensation for improved measurement performance includes a pair of rectifier transistors coupled to a differential input signal biased by a first temperature dependent current. An output of the pair of rectifier transistors provides a first component of a differential DC output signal. The first component of the differential DC output signal includes a DC voltage proportional to an amplitude of the differential input signal plus an offset voltage. The power detector further includes a reference transistor biased by a reference current. The reference current includes a second temperature dependent current and a temperature independent offset current for temperature compensation. An output of the reference transistor provides a second component of the differential DC output signal that includes a reference voltage. The temperature independent offset current is adjusted such that the reference voltage substantially equals the offset voltage, thereby improving the precision of the power detector.
