System, apparatus and method for performing automatic gain control in a receiver for short range wireless communications
In one example, a receiver includes: a low noise amplifier (LNA) to receive and amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal, the LNA having a first controllable gain; a mixer to downconvert the RF signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal; a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) coupled to the mixer to amplify the IF signal, the PGA having a second controllable gain; a digitizer to digitize the IF signal to a digitized signal; a digital signal processor (DSP) to process the digitized signal; a first detector to output a first detection signal having a first value in response to the IF signal exceeding a first threshold during a first detection period; and a controller to dynamically update a gain setting of one or more of the LNA and the PGA in response to the first detection signal.
