Abstract
At least one adjustable gain analog amplifier (and) in an analog line-up () amplifies by a gain an analog signal at an input of the analog line-up (). The at least one adjustable gain analog amplifier (and) is operable at one or more gains. At least one digital estimation device (and) receives signal via an output () of the analog line-up () and provides a digital signal estimate representative of an analog signal at an input of a respective one of the at least one adjustable gain analog amplifier (and) in the analog line-up (). An AGC controller () monitors the digital signal estimate. The AGC controller () adjusts the gain of the at least one analog amplifier (and). An RF receiver and an integrated circuit utilizing the novel features are also disclosed.
