    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for analog automatic gain control (AGC) based on estimated distributions of signal characteristics are described. One example method includes generating a digital measurement of a first signal characteristic based on a second signal characteristic of an input signal received by the device, where the second signal characteristic is based on a level of the input signal. The digital measurement of the signal characteristic is used to update a statistical model for the input signal and the posterior probability distribution of the second signal characteristic conditioned on previous digital measurements of the first signal characteristic. The updated posterior probability distribution is used to generate a gain estimate, which is then used to adjust the power level of the input signal. Another example method may use multiple statistical models for each waveform supported by the system.

    Abstract: The estimation and mitigation of swept-tone interferers includes receiving a composite signal comprising a signal of interest and a swept-tone interferer over an observation bandwidth or a hop bandwidth in a frequency-hopping system. The estimation of the interfering signal may be based on modeling the interferer as a magnitude periodic signal comprising non-overlapping, contiguous epochs, where each epoch may comprise a common pulse shape and a distinct phase rotation. The modeling may be based over the observation bandwidth, the hop bandwidth, or after combining the signal over all the frequency hop bandwidths. The period of the magnitude-periodic signal may be initially determined, and the common pulse shape and each of the distinct phase rotations may then be estimated. These estimates may be used to reconstruct an estimate of the swept-tone interferer, which may be subtracted from the composite signal to generate an interference-mitigated signal of interest.
