Abstract
A system for processing a wideband RF signal including at least an in-band signal and an out-of-band interference, comprising: an antenna; a low-noise amplifier (LNA), wherein gain of the LNA is variable and is controlled by a first gain-setting signal; a local oscillator for generating an oscillation signal at a first frequency that is spaced apart from the in-band signal carrier frequency by an intermediate frequency; a mixer for moving the in-band signal carrier frequency by the intermediate frequency and providing a variable conversion gain, which is controlled by a second gain-setting signal, to the in-band signal; a channel selection filter (CSF) for producing a desired-user signal; and an automatic gain control (AGC) unit for generating the first and second gain-setting signals derived from a desired LNA gain value, a desired mixer conversion gain value, strength of the in-band signal, and power of the out-of-band interference.
