Abstract

A method and a circuit for detecting a radio-frequency signal, including at least one first MOS transistor with a channel of a first type, having its gate coupled to an input terminal capable of receiving said signal; a circuit for biasing the first transistor, capable of biasing it to a level lower than its threshold voltage; and a circuit for determining the average value of the current in the first transistor.
