Abstract: In a slot format of a received signal, AGC gain update timings (t1 to t4) are shifted every time to disperse and reduce an influence of a noise attributable to a direct current component specific to direct conversion which is accompanied by AGC gain update. In particular, in the case where each of slots in the received signal includes an information portion (data) having a larger code correcting capability and an information portion having a smaller code correcting capability (TPC (transmission power control), TFCI (transport format combination indicator), PILOT), the AGC gain update timing is generated while being shifted in the former information portion, thereby reduce the influence of the noise. When the amount of shift of the AGC gain update timing is set to be larger than that of one symbol of the received signal, the influence of the noise accompanied by the AGC gain update is further reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic gain controller in a wireless packet communication system and an automatic gain control method thereof. The automatic gain controller includes a variable gain amplifier, a signal saturation determining unit, a power calculator, and a gain controller. The gain controller includes a first gain selector and a second gain selector. In the automatic gain control method, an establishment gain of a variable gain amplifier is reduced when the number of samples greater than a predetermined reference is greater than a predetermined number. After a received power value is measured, the establishment gain is controlled by a difference between the received power value and a reference power value.

Abstract: A transmitter includes a dual mode modulator and an amplifier coupled to the dual mode modulator. The dual mode modulator implements a linear modulation scheme during a first mode of the modulator to produce a variable envelope modulated signal. The dual mode modulator implements a non-linear modulation scheme during a second mode of the modulator to produce a constant envelope modulated signal. The amplifier is biased as a linear amplifier during the first mode of the modulator and is biased as a non-linear amplifier during the second mode of the modulator. A feed-forward connection between the dual mode modulator and the amplifier is used to indicate a change in modulation mode and to adjust the bias of the amplifier. A power of the constant envelope modulated signal is increased such that an operating point of the amplifier remains substantially constant during the first and second modes of the modulator.

Abstract: The AGC threshold of electric intensity level is set by the signal processor portion 107 in response to the measured result of the error rate measuring circuit 109 that measures the error rate of the received signal, and the gain control operation of the gain control circuit 106 is caused to start when the electric field intensity detected by the field intensity detector 105 reaches the threshold of electric intensity level. Accordingly, the optimum AGC threshold of electric intensity level can be set to meet the radio wave situation in which the radio receiver, i.e., the receiving situation of the received signal and also the gain control of the gain controlling means can be achieved to optimize the signal quality of the received signal in the situation of either the IM characteristic or the electric field variation characteristic, e.g., under the environment of the strong electric field IM or the environment in which the electric field is changed strongly.

Abstract: A radio receiver includes a branching unit, a first gain-control system, a second-gain control system, and a signal processing unit. The branching unit branches a radio signal received by the radio receiver into two signals. The first-gain control system performs a gain control of a pilot signal in one of branched signals, and the second gain control system performs a gain control of a data signal in another of the branched signals. The signal processing unit synchronizes frames in the received radio signal. The signal processing unit outputs a gain signal to each of the first gain-control system and the second gain-control system. The first gain-control system and the second gain-control system perform the gain controls based on the gain signal.

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.

Abstract: An automatic gain control circuit is provided for an input signal in the form of a dc reference level and a superposed amplitude modulated ac data signal. A feedforward AGC loop has a low pass filter (41) for deriving the level of attenuation from the attenuated dc reference level. A multiplier value (G) is based on the reciprocal of the level of attenuation (α) and this multiplier enables an output signal to be generated comprising a constant multiple (DG) of the input signal.
