Abstract
There is provided automatic gain control of radio chains of a receiver. At least two radio frequency (RF) signals are received. Each RF signal is received on an individual radio chain from an antenna array. By comparing the at least two RF signals to a threshold it is determined whether to perform gain control or not of at least one of the at least two RF signals before analog combining of the at least two RF signals. A notification is sent to a detector regarding whether gain control is performed or not. Analog combining of the at least two RF signals is performed, thereby generating a single input to the detector.
