Abstract:
In a channelized communication system having a plurality of channels, a method for obtaining optimal performance in a receiver comprising:receiving an input spectrum having a plurality of signals and an input spectrum bandwidth; applying a first attenuation value to a first variable gain device; applying a second attenuation value to a second variable gain device, wherein the first variable gain device and the second variable gain device are within a common signal path; tuning the receiver to a first channel, the first channel having a first bandwidth within, and less than, the input spectrum bandwidth; measuring a first power level within the first channel; successionally tuning the receiver to a second channel, the second channel having a second bandwidth within, and less than, the input spectrum bandwidth; measuring a second power level, independent from the first power level, within the second channel; and based on the steps of measuring, applying a first modified attenuation value to the first variable gain device and applying a second modified attenuation value to the second variable gain device.
