An analog signal gain control circuit(ASGC) for a digital radio HomePlug orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver includes a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) to control the gain of a received signal to achieve a desired signal amplitude to match a dynamic range of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), an inverse scaling stage controlled to inverse-scale the signal output by the ADC, and a two-stage fast attack and slow decay filter that outputs control signals to the DVGA and to the inverse scaling stage. The fast attack and slow decay filter rapidly responds to an increase in signal amplitude and slowly decays the amplitude of the control signal in response to a decrease in input signal amplitude.
