A system and method are provided for maintaining a consistent operating
condition of a power amplifier power amplifier across a range of
operating temperatures. The power amplifier is provided with an input
bias voltage (Vbias) that adjusts with temperature to compensate for the
temperature dependent change of the power amplifier's base-emitter
voltage drop Vbe. This maintains a consistent operating condition in the
power amplifier, which reduces temperature-dependent changes in the
amplifier's gain.
