Abstract

This invention discloses an electronic device and a signal compensation method. The signal compensation method is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a transmitted signal strength indication circuit and a temperature sensing circuit. The electronic device generates a digital output signal and up-amplifies the digital output signal to generate an output signal. The method includes: obtaining a signal strength of the output signal from the transmitted signal strength indication circuit; obtaining temperature information from the temperature sensing circuit; setting a target gain based on the signal strength and the temperature information; and adjusting the amplitude of the digital output signal based on the target gain.
