Abstract

A method is provided for operating a radio frequency (RF) receiver including a transimpedance amplifier, a capacitor selectively connected in parallel with the transimpedance amplifier, a channel selection filter unit connected to an output terminal of the transimpedance amplifier, and a variable gain amplification unit selectively connected in parallel with the channel selection filter unit. The method includes measuring signal-to-noise ratio from an output of the RF receiver, and comparing the measured signal-to-noise ratio with a reference signal-to-noise ratio. When the measured signal-to-noise ratio is greater than the reference signal-to-noise ratio, the capacitor is electrically disconnected from being connected in parallel with the transimpedance amplifier and a variation in the measured signal-to-noise ratio is measured. When the measured variation is in tolerance, the channel selection filter is bypassed to select the variable gain amplification unit.
