A circuit for compensating temperature of an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit
includes a low noise amplifier (LNA) for amplifying a received radio frequency
(RF) signal, an attenuation control unit for generating an attenuation control
signal by sensing the amplified RF signal, and a PIN diode attenuator for attenuating
the RF signal inputted to the LNA by driving the PIN diode with an attenuation
control signal. A temperature compensation unit for compensating an attenuation
change amount of the PIN diode caused by the change of temperature compensates
the voltage change between the PIN diodes by using an additional PIN diode having
identical characteristic of temperature as the PIN diode of the PIN diode attenuator.
