Abstract: Methods and devices for limiting the power level of low noise amplifiers (LNA) implemented in radio frequency (RF) receiver front-ends. The described methods are applicable to bypass, low and high gain modes of the LNA. According to the described methods, the decoder allows the signal to be clamped before or after being attenuated. The benefit of such methods is to improve large signal performances (e.g. IIP3, P1dB) of the RF receiver front-end, while still meeting the clamping requirements, or improve (lower) clamped output power, while still meeting large signal performances (e.g. IIP3, P1dB).
