1. A multi-path receiver for an automated test equipment, the multi-path receiver comprising:

  • an input for receiving low-power signals and high-power signals, the high-power signals having a signal amplitude higher than the low-power signals;

    an output for outputting a received signal;

    a first path for transmitting a received high-power signal from the input to the output;

    a second path for transmitting a received low-power signal from the input to the output, the second path comprising an amplifier;

    a first switch for switching a received high-power signal to the first path and for switching a received low-power signal to the second path; and

    a high-power amplifier coupled between the input and the first switch for amplifying the received signal independent of its input power before it is switched to the first or second path.
