Abstract
A wireless communication device includes an antenna to receive a signal, a low noise amplifier, and circuitry that determines the power level of the signal. The circuitry also determines whether the signal includes a packet, and causes the low noise amplifier to amplify the signal when the signal includes a packet and the power level of the signal is below a threshold. The circuitry also causes the low noise amplifier to be bypassed when the signal does not include a packet, or the power level of the signal is above the predetermined threshold and the signal includes a packet.
