Do back-to-back diodes across a receiving antenna degrade receiver
performance before they begin to conduct? what I'm considering is
back-to-back series strings of diodes to limit RF voltage at the front
end of an SDR. My working assumption is that the conduction threshold
could be set below the damage level but above the ADC clipping level,
but if it affects performance before the ADC clips then that's no good.
