Abstract
A set of receiver path circuits is allocated for processing a radio-frequency (RF) signal provided by receive antennas coupled to the receiver path circuits. The RF signal may belong to a first signal class, such as Wi-Fi. A first gain control signal is applied to each of the allocated receiver path circuits to condition a signal level of the RF signal for the first signal class. A second gain control signal is applied to another set of receiver path circuits coupled to the receive antennas to condition the RF signal of a second signal class. First receive gain control signals are generated from the RF signals of the first signal class by the allocated set of the receiver path circuits. The first receive gain control signals are configured to optimize the signal level for processing the first signal class. A second receive gain control signal is generated to optimize the signal level of the RF signal for the second signal class.
