Abstract
An interface for expanding a signal starting from a first sensing signal and a second sensing signal, wherein a receiving intensity measuring element generates an intensity signal; and a selector is controlled to select each time the first sensing signal, the second sensing signal, or a combined signal deriving from a weighted combination of these signals. The selector uses a plurality of thresholds variable as a function of the intensity signal.
