ABSTRACT:
The method and apparatus of the present invention improve the immunity to interference of a radio receiver. The power level of a received signal is detected. If the power level meets or exceeds a predetermined power threshold, the low noise amplifier is by-passed, thus increasing the intercept point of the receiver components.
Alternative embodiments include the use of an RF power detector to control the front-end gain as a function of jammer power. In lieu of a switchable RF gain block, several methods of continuous gain control are proposed. Continuous gain control allows the interference suppression and sensitivity of the receiver to be adjusted at lower signal levels than the switchable gain block.
