Abstract

Systems and methods for mitigating broadband and/or Intermodulation ('IM') interference. The methods comprise: monitoring performance of at least one demodulator performance metric of a communication device; detecting when the communication device is under or will be under an influence of IM interference based on a performance of the at least one demodulator performance metric; determining an improved level of gain to be applied to (i) a variable attenuator of the communication device or (ii) a variable gain low noise amplifier of the communication device; and selectively adjusting an amount of gain being applied by the variable attenuator or variable gain low noise amplifier based on the improved performance achieved with new level of attenuation.
