Abstract
A method of extending the dynamic range of a receiver in a digital radio transmission system, wherein the receiver receives a radio signal sent from a transmitter and includes an A/D-converter. Exemplary methods according to the present invention include the steps of selecting an upward limit value for the dynamic range of the A/D-converter, determining a minimum accepted signal quality for a radio signal process in the receiver, overextending the A/D-converter so as to exceed the upper limit value, generating a signal quality value downstream of the A/D-converter, comparing the generated signal quality value with the minimum accepted signal quality and limiting the overextension so that the minimum accepted signal quality will be exceeded when the A/D-converter is overextended.
