Radio frequency receiver

A radio frequency (RF) receiver, comprising:

• a splitter configured to receive an RF signal and to split said signal into a first split RF signal and a second split RF signal;
• a detector, in operative communication with the splitter, configured to receive the second split RF signal, to detect a power level of the second split RF signal, and to output a detector signal;
• a receiver chain, in operative communication with the splitter, configured to receive the first split RF signal and to perform an RF process on the first split RF signal;
• a dynamic gain amplifier, in operative communication with the detector and with the receiver chain, configured to receive, and to attenuate or amplify, in accordance with the detector signal from the detector, the processed first split RF signal;
• and
• an analog device, in operative communication with the dynamic gain amplifier, configured to receive, and to further process, the processed first split RF signal that has been attenuated or amplified by the dynamic gain amplifier, wherein:
• the detector and the dynamic gain amplifier are configured jointly such that a time required for the detection of the power level of the second split RF signal and for setting and stabilization of the gain of the dynamic gain amplifier in response to the detector signal is shorter than the propagation time of the first split RF signal through the receiver chain.
