A programmable linear receiver which provides the requisite level of system performance at reduced power consumption. The receiver minimizes power consumption based on measurement of the non-linearity in the output signal from the receiver. The amount of non-linearity can be measured by the RSSI slope...http://www.google.co.uk/patents/US6498926?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6498926 - Programmable linear receiver having a variable IIP3 point
