Abstract

An amplifier system for a radio receiver, comprising: amplifier means for amplifying a signal applied to an amplifier input to generate an amplifier output signal; and control means for sensing the amplifier output signal and, in response to a relatively high level of the output signal, controlling the current applied to the amplifier input to maintain the amplifier means in a linear mode of operation.
