This paper presents a low-power CMOS receiving signal strength indicator (RSSI). The main architecture of the circuit adopts a six-stage limiting amplifier (LA) in a logarithmic-linear form, which shows a good performance in weak signal detection. The RSSI achieves high tolerance to process, voltage...
