Abstract
Systems and methods for automatic gain control are disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, a system is provided that comprises a programmable gain amplifier that amplifies an input signal based on a gain signal. The system further comprises an analog-to-digital converter that generates at least one digital output signal from the amplified input signal, and an automatic gain control component that determines an adjustment of the gain signal based on a comparison of the at least one digital output signal to a predetermined maximum amplitude reference level.
