Abstract:
1. A method of increasing signal to noise ratio in a receiver, the method comprising: obtaining a first signal strength that is indicative of and based on a signal level for a desired signal; establishing an initial automatic gain control (AGC) setting for the receiver based on the first signal strength; obtaining a second signal strength that is based on a wideband signal and is indicative of a level of the wideband signal and indicative of an interfering signal being present, the wideband signal including the desired signal, the initial AGC setting is independent from the second signal strength as obtained; and adjusting the initial AGC setting based on the second signal strength to provide an adjusted AGC setting for the receiver, the adjusted AGC setting will increase the signal to noise ratio of the desired signal relative to the signal to noise ratio resulting from the initial AGC setting.
