I'm designing with LNA to receive a BW=8MHz signal (channel BW=25kHz). See block diagram:   There exist an case where an in-band channel signal (or blocker) which is strong enough to saturate the LNA input and then degrades the linearity of the channel of interest.

To avoid this case:

1st, I plan to use a coupler + power detector to measure the in-band power in this case and attenuate the LNA input power in case the blocker is too strong so that the LNA operates in linear zone (also protect LNA in case exceeding Maximum input rate).

2nd, or maybe use a RF limiter instead of attenuator to protect LNA input. My question here is: when the in band blocker is attenuated by the limiter (the limiter is not linear any more), what about the useful signal (at another channel)? Does the useful signal pass through limiter normally or also suffer the non linearity of limiter?

Are there others ways to avoid high power in-band blockers  ?
