[0037] attached figure 1 Shown is a block diagram of the structure of the automatic gain controller according to the embodiment of the present invention. Although this embodiment is applied to a radio communication device, the automatic gain controller can be applied to various signal processors.

[0038] The automatic gain controller according to the present embodiment includes a variable gain amplifier 1 (variable gain amplifying means) that variably amplifies an input signal such as a received signal, and in a subsequent stage the resulting signal is output to a signal processing system. Such an automatic gain controller has a closed-loop control system that generates a gain control signal b based on an output signal c of a variable gain amplifier 1 to stably control the output signal c.

[0039] The closed-loop control system is equipped with a level detection circuit 2 that detects the level of the output signal of the variable gain amplifier 1, an A / D converter 3 that ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an automatic gain control method and device, and radio communication apparatus with said function. At the power-on, a determination section (9) outputs a switch control signal (m) to a selector switch (7) to select the output of a sweep signal generator (6) which generates a voltage sweep signal (h) that increases from the minimum value to the maximum value of the gain control voltage range (p) at the same time, then provides the voltage sweep signal (h) to the variable gain amplifier (1), and calculates the difference (f) between the level detection value of an output signal (c) and a convergence value (e) and detects a sweep voltage value (j) obtained when (f) = 0 and stores the sweep voltage value (j) into memory.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic gain controller and automatic gain control method for outputting an input signal, and a radio communication device having the automatic gain control function, wherein an input signal whose level varies is output in such a manner that by a feedback loop Keep the input signal constant. Background technique [0002] Automatic gain control (often abbreviated as AGC) has been implemented in various signal processors. For example, in radio communications, the signal level of a received signal varies due to attenuation in the radio frequency propagation path. The receiving system of the radio communication device is therefore equipped with an automatic gain control function to keep the received signal level constant and reduce demodulation errors. [0003] In the automatic gain control, it is desirable that the pull-in operation is completed at an early stage after power-on. For example, some radio communicatio...
