Abstract
A method of selecting an RF gain of an automatic gain control amplifier includes the steps of measuring a strength of a received signal, the signal reliable and consistent power characteristics, and then measuring an interference level of the received signal, and determining either a target output power level or a target output interference power level based on a ratio of the measured signal strength to the measured interference level. The method also includes determining a gain that, when applied to an incoming signal, will produce a corresponding one of the determined target output power level and the determined target output interference power level.
