A signal strength indicator circuit including a set of rectifiers. The set
of rectifiers include an asymmetric switching pair of rectifiers that may
be configured to provide an output signal that is inversely proportional
to an input signal obtained from a device in a telecommunications system.
The pair may be connected directly on one side thereof to a power supply
and may be connected on another side thereof to the power supply through
a resistor. Also, a method of processing a signal received by a signal
strength indicator circuit.
