    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically controlling a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) to provide a plurality of gain steps thereby providing automatic gain control (AGC) in a receiver intermediate frequency (IF) stage comprising a succession of operational amplifiers wherein at least one is for providing fine gain control and wherein the gain of each fine gain amplifier is controlled by the resistance ratios of a plurality of selectively biased MOSFETs coupled at an input stage and in a feedback loop between the inputs and outputs of each amplifier. The gain is selected by comparing the peak amplitude of a signal to a pair of high and low thresholds. In one embodiment of the invention, three coarse amplifiers are provided, each having a gain of either 0 dB or 12 dB based on the value of a two-state signal provided to each amplifier gain control input. A single fine gain amplifier has a gain of 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB or 9 dB based on the binary value of the two-bit signal provided to the amplifier. The combination of three coarse gain amplifiers and one fine gain amplifier provides for a total gain of 45 dB in 3 dB steps in the described embodiment of the invention. The output of the gain control circuitry also is fed into an inverter. The inverter output may be used as a received signal strength indicator for a desired signal.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enable a feedback-based VCO linearization technique. Embodiments include a frequency locked loop formed by feeding back a VCO's output into the VCO's input in negative phase by means of a frequency-to-voltage (F/V) converter. Embodiments enable constant VCO gain over a wide input tuning range and across PVT variations. Further, embodiments can be nested within a PLL, for example, with negligible area and power consumption overhead.
