Abstract

Disclosed are methods and devices for determining a modulation type of a signal using a circuit arrangement. The power is detected for a signal received at the circuit arrangement. This is done by means of N measured values in a measurement window. Based upon the detected power and one or more reference values or reference patterns, e.g., by means of a comparison or a correlation, the modulation type of the signal can be determined from a plurality of modulation types. Disclosed are also methods and devices for configuring an amplification unit of a circuit arrangement, in which the power of a received signal is detected by means of N measured values in a measurement window, and the amplification unit is configured based upon the detected power and one or more reference values or reference patterns.
