Patent ID: 8401505

Claim:
A method for controlling (i) a gain of a first low noise amplifier (LNA) to be applied to both (a) signals conforming to a first communication protocol and (b) signals conforming to a second communication protocol, (ii) a gain of a second LNA to be applied to the signals conforming to the first communication protocol, and (iii) a gain of a third LNA to be applied to the signals conforming to the second communication protocol, the method comprising: determining a first signal strength indicator corresponding to a signal strength of a first signal received from a first communication device, the first signal conforming to the first communication protocol; determining a second signal strength indicator corresponding to a signal strength of a second signal received from a second communication device, the second signal conforming to the second communication protocol; controlling the gain of the first LNA based on at least (i) the first signal strength indicator and ii) the second signal strength indicator; controlling the gain of the second LNA based on at least the first signal strength indicator; and controlling the gain of the third LNA based on at least the second signal strength indicator.
