A simple method for increasing the dynamic range of a PIN-GaAs FET receiver is described. It requires no additional component connection at the input node of the receiver, and no sensitivity penalty is incurred. The 12.6 Mbit/s receiver described has a sensitivity of −52.6 dBm and a dynamic range >44.8 dB optical (89.6 dB electrical).
