Abstract
A method and apparatus for improving signal reception in a receiver () by performing all-channel and/or on-channel estimations on a received signal so as to predict future RF environments. The prediction is achieved through the use of one or more detector systems () positioned to sample and detect predetermined signal metrics of the received signal () prior to analog-to-digital conversion () and subsequent post-processing (). Future estimations of the channel condition are thus generated prior to the arrival of the actual samples () at a controller section (). The detectors () provide triggers () to the controller () so that active stages () within the receiver () can be adjusted and scaled as needed via a serial port interface (SPI) () based on signal conditions.
