Abstract
A receiver automatic gain control includes a variable gain receiver having a control input and responsive to a gain control signal for adjusting the output level of the receiver. A controller is coupled to the variable gain receiver. The controller monitors a received signal quality and a received signal power level. The controller generates a control signal for controlling the gain of the variable gain receiver as a function of the signal quality and the power level. The controller controls the gain as function of the received signal power level and selectively controls the gain as a function of the signal quality.
