A radio transceiver includes circuitry that enables received RF signals to be down-converted to baseband frequencies and baseband signals to be up-converted to RF signals prior to transmission without requiring conversion to an intermediate frequency. The circuitry includes a temperature sensing module that produce accurate voltage level readings may be mapped into corresponding temperature values. A processor, among other actions, adjusts gain level settings based upon detected temperature values. One aspect of the present invention further includes repetitively inverting voltage signals across a pair of semiconductor devices beings used as temperature sensors to remove a common mode signal to produce an actual temperature-voltage curve. In one embodiment of the invention, the circuitry further includes a pair of amplifiers to facilitate setting a slope of the voltage-temperature curve.
