Abstract
Disclosed is a radio frequency receiver with real-time dynamic gain control that uses a feed-forward structure to enable the short response times that are required by IFF systems. In the radio frequency receiver, a signal that is received by an antenna is split by a splitter, and during processing of one branch of the split by a receiver chain, the other branch is subjected concurrently to power detection, to thereby set the attenuation of a dynamic gain amplifier prior to the processed radio frequency signal arriving at the attenuator, thereby conditioning the radio frequency signal to match the dynamic range of a subsequent analog device, such as an ADC, protecting the ADC and optimizing performance thereof, while eliminating the time that would be required by a feedback-based dynamic gain control system.
