Patent ID: 8301097

Claim:
A method for processing a plurality of signals, comprising: performing by one or more processors and/or circuits in a single chip: amplifying an input signal; generating a wideband signal from said amplified input signal; bandpass filtering said generated wideband signal to generate a narrowband signal; generating at least one control signal based on a narrowband received signal strength indication (NRSSI) of said generated narrowband signal, and/or a wideband received signal strength indication (WRSSI) of said generated wideband signal; and adjusting amplification of said input signal based on said narrowband received signal strength indication, and/or said wideband received signal strength indication, wherein said adjusting of said amplification of said input signal comprises utilizing an on-chip triple well (TW) N-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor (NMOS) transistor, and wherein said at least one control signal corresponds to a powering state of said on-chip TW NMOS transistor.
