Abstract

A receiver generates two metrics, one that is used to control the gain of an amplifier and the other that is used to determine the presence of narrowband interference, such as IMD. The two metrics may represent analog-to-digital converter (A/D) saturation and average signal strength, either of which may be used to control gain or to detect the presence of narrowband interference.
