Abstract:
A received frame is branched into a gain control system (20A) for common pilot signals and a gain control system (20B) for individual data signals. The gain control system (20A) controls the gain of the common pilot signals, and the gain control system (20B) controls the gain of the data signals. A signal processor (30) establishes synchronization of frames, outputs a gain control signal (g1) so that the gain of the common pilot signal is constant, to a gain control circuit (21a) for the common pilot signals, and outputs a gain control signal (g2) so that the gain of the data signal is constant, to a gain control circuit (21b) for the data signals. The gain is controlled to be constant, thereby preventing saturation of ADC (26a, 26b, 27a, 27b) and S/N deterioration.
Abstract:
A receiver for processing a signal comprises a first amplifier circuit and a second amplifier circuit. The first amplifier circuit is operated in association with a first gain profile. The second amplifier circuit is operated in association with a second gain profile. The receiver further comprises a gain control circuit that determines a quality indicator associated with a modulated signal. The gain control circuit adjusts the first gain profile and the second gain profile based at least in part upon the determined quality indicator.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a proactive gain control system (200) for a communications receiver. The proactive gain control system (200) includes a variable gain module (220) for outputting an output signal in response to an input signal. A detector (204) detects the output signal and outputs a detection signal representing a signal strength of the output signal. A traffic monitor (206) monitors the output signal and outputs a traffic profile signal indicating that a traffic profile for the input signal will change. A gain computing module (208) outputs a gain adjustment value in response to the detection signal and the traffic profile signal. A gain control module (210) outputs a gain control signal to the variable gain module (220), which determines a gain between the input and output signals, in response to the gain adjustment value.

Abstract:
An automatic gain control device includes an amplifier for a reception signal, a signal processing unit, a memory, and a control unit. The amplifier can set a gain. The signal processing unit extracts control data from an output from the amplifier and performs information processing for the data. The memory stores the gain setting value of the amplifier. The control unit controls the gain of the amplifier in accordance with a preset control algorithm. On the basis of the result obtained when the control unit computes a gain setting value stored in the memory in accordance with a preset algorithm, the control unit controls the gain of the amplifier in correspondence with operation of switching the frequency of a reception signal, which is accompanied by different frequency monitoring in the compressed mode by the signal processing unit. A radio communication terminal, a control method for an automatic gain control device, a control program for an automatic gain control device, an automatic gain control method, a radio communication system, and a radio communication method are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for generating the adaptive gain control signals in a communications receiver is disclosed. The present invention can be used with existing two-stage gain architectures, and overcomes many undesirable characteristics of the previous mechanism. An apparatus is presented wherein each of a plurality of RF AGC gain controllable amplifiers (140 and 150) are individually controlled by individual AGC control signals generated by an AGC controller (105) so that the level of the output signal from each of the RF AGC gain controllable amplifiers is individually optimized for tuner performance (170 and 190).
