Abstract

A gain control system for controlling signal levels of the signal received by a receiver. The gain control system is operable to control the signal levels of the signal when the signal is comprised of either a conventional, constant envelope signal, such as an FM signal, or a non-constant envelope signal, such as a TDMA composite modulated signal. The gain control system may be advantageously embodied in a dual-mode radiotelephone operable to receive both conventional, FM signals and TDMA, composite modulated signals.
