Abstract
A method for dynamic sizing of a blocker margin by a receiver automatic gain control (AGC) is described. The method includes measuring a wanted signal level and a blocker signal level. The method also includes adjusting a linear target for the wanted signal level at the output of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the receiver based on the blocker signal level. The linear target is adjusted to optimize a wanted signal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the blocker margin. The method further includes adjusting a receiver front-end gain based on the adjusted linear target.
