Abstract
A wave-based detection system according to various aspects of the present invention analyzes signals in conjunction with a series of thresholds related to the anticipated input power of the incoming signals. The system implements a scheduled gain system to optimize the dynamic range according to the operating configuration of a transmitter and the characteristics of the receiver. The thresholds are correspondingly scaled using the scheduled gain. Because the thresholds are determined by an algorithm instead of a look up table, with the algorithm being based solely on the anticipated input power, the system uses significantly less memory and empirical data.
