Abstract:
1. A receiver for receiving a signal having embedded therein symbols, the receiver comprising: an input amplifier configured to receive an input signal, wherein the input amplifier is configured to generate an amplified output and a signal strength indicator, wherein the signal strength indicator comprises an indication of a gain nonlinearity of the input amplifier, wherein the signal strength indicator comprises a control signal; and a filter operatively coupled to the input amplifier to receive the amplified output and to receive the signal strength indicator for control, wherein the filter is configured to vary filter coefficients used for filtering depending on a state of the signal strength indicator, and wherein the filter is configured to determine symbols embedded in the signal; wherein the filter further comprises a multiplexer coupled to the signal strength indicator for control, wherein the multiplexer is configured to vary a feedback path to vary the filter coefficients.
