Abstract
A receiver stage for receiving a receive signal comprises M receiving paths, each receiving path comprises a signal processor and K comparators. The signal processors of the M receiving paths are configured to generate, for each of the M receiving paths, an amplified version of the receive signal, such that an amplification gain of the respective receiving path increases from a first of the M receiving paths to a last of the M receiving paths. For each of the M receiving paths the K comparators of the respective receiving paths are configured to compare the amplified receive signal of the respective receiving path with a respective threshold value. For each of the M receiving paths the threshold value increases from a first of the K comparators to the last of the K comparators.
