Abstract:
An RF impedance measurement circuit includes a sensing capacitor connectable with an RF signal path; a first amplitude detector and a first frequency divider, each coupled, with the measurement circuit in operation, to the RF signal path at a first terminal of the sensing capacitor; a second amplitude detector and a second frequency divider, each coupled, with the measurement circuit in operation, to a second terminal of the sensing capacitor; and a phase detection circuit connected to an output of the first frequency divider and to an output of the second frequency divider.
