Abstract

A repeater including an analog attenuator configured to attenuate an analog signal in response to a first control signal; an analog to digital converter (ADC) configured to convert the attenuated analog signal into a digital signal; a digital attenuator configured to attenuate the digital signal in response to a second control signal; and an attenuation controller configured to calculate average power and peak power of the attenuated digital signal, determine an attenuation value for each value of the calculated average power and peak power, and generate at least one of the first and second control signals based on the determined attenuation values.
