Patent ID: 8849224

Claim:
A receiver comprising: an input end, an Rx-chain with at least one regulating device, an output end, a feedback loop in the Rx-chain, said at least one regulating device being arranged for providing a higher or a lower gain setting, the feedback loop comprises an AGC Multilevel threshold detector Unit (AMU), the AMU comprising at least one Low Multilevel Threshold Detector (LMTD), and that said LMTD comprises at least two low threshold detectors, each of the at least two low threshold detectors having an associated low threshold level and detection interval, the selectable length of each detection interval selected to be shorter the lower each corresponding low threshold level is set, the higher gain setting being arranged to be initiated through the feedback loop when the absolute level of an AGC input signal has been below at least one of the low threshold levels during the entire detection interval associated with that at least one low threshold level.
