1. An electronic device comprising:

  • a temperature sensor;

    a power amplifier (PA); and

    a processor configured to;

    determine a transmission power of the PA,determine whether the determined transmission power is less than or equal to a preset threshold level, the preset threshold level being set to distinguish between a high power mode and a low power mode,monitor, when the determined transmission power is less than or equal to the preset threshold level, signals from the temperature sensor,determine a bias value for the PA, based on the monitored signals, andcontrol the PA to amplify a signal for transmission based on the determined bias value,wherein the processor is further configured to select the bias value using a temperature-based compensation table including bias values that vary according to a plurality of temperatures, andwherein the bias value is set to maintain a first amplification gain at a first temperature higher than a specified temperature and is set to maintain a second amplification gain higher than the first amplification gain at a second temperature lower than the specified temperature.
