Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatic gain control (AGC). A transceiver includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to convert a received analog signal to digital signal, a measurement circuitry configured to measure a signal level on the digital signal, an AGC controller configured to generate, based on the measured signal level, an analog gain control signal to change a gain to be applied to a received analog signal in analog domain and a digital gain control signal for digital gain compensation corresponding to the gain change in analog domain, and a digital gain compensation circuitry configured to apply the digital gain compensation based on the digital gain control signal. The digital compensation gain applied to the digital bits follows a ramp profile that is an inverse of a transient response to the gain change in analog domain.
