Hello, I'm currently working on a receiver in which I would like to limit the RF power at input to -10dBm ~ -15dBm. All of the pin diode limiter (including schottky enhanced) schematics that I have seen limit power as low as 0dBm and not below that. I came across a limiter schematic given in Figure 16 of this link.
http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/74633/pin-diode-limiterI was wondering if by using an amplifier before the schottky diode mentioned in Figure 16, can I tune the limit power to below 0dBm?
P.S, I would like to do it with as little active components as possible
