Abstract
Methods and apparatus for automatic gain control (AGC) and DC calibration for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) or orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems are provided in an effort to avoid saturation of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a radio frequency (RF) front end of a receiver, to handle dynamic received signal power, or to avoid interruptions in a communication link for DC calibration. For certain embodiments, the quantization error in the RF front end may also be decreased.
