Abstract: An automatic gain control (AGC) method and system for a radio receiver are proposed in which the ACG comprises two AGC loops; a first loop controlling signal gain in the analog portion of the radio receiver, a second loop controlling gain in the digital domain after digitization of the received signal. The analog AGC loop has a slower response time than the digital AGC loop. When applied to a multi-branch diversity receiver, each branch has its own digital AGC loop, but the analog gain can be common to all branches, based on measurement of the analog signal in each branch.

Abstract: Process for controlling the switching of the data rate at a digital interface exchanging data and control messages between a Radio Frequency (RF) circuit and a digital circuit, comprising the steps of: setting by default the data rate to a low speed (LS) rate having a density presenting a first lobe being inferior to the frequency band considered in said RF circuit so as to prevent desensitization of the LNAs by the noise produced by said digital interface; storing the data and control messages message into a FIFO and monitoring the level of said FIFO; whenever the level of said FIFO reaches a predetermined threshold value, then controlling said interface to switch to a second high speed (HS) rate in order to flush said FIFO. In one embodiment, the LS frequency is set to a value of 832 MHz, thus preventing simultaneously desensitization of the GSM band and also the GPS band.
