1. A method for operating a receiver, the method comprising:
configuring a receiver front-end circuit of the receiver according to a selected power consumption configuration; and
adjusting a quiescent current of a programmable flat gain stage coupled to the receiver front-end circuit according to the selected power consumption configuration to compensate for any gain loss of the receiver front-end circuit in the selected power consumption configuration, the selected power consumption configuration being a reduced power consumption configuration and the programmable flat gain stage being configured to at least partially compensate for the gain loss of the receiver front-end circuit in the reduced power consumption configuration.
