A radio frequency (RF) receiver device comprises a receiver system that
receives an analog radio frequency signal and downconverts the analog
radio frequency signal to a downconverted analog signal, the receiver
system further including a peak signal detector configured to determine a
peak signal level of the downconverted analog signal, and an automatic
gain control adjustment element configured to determine whether the peak
signal level falls within a predetermined range, and configured to
generate, in the RF receiver, a gain control signal controlling the gain
of at least one analog component based on whether the peak signal level
falls within the predetermined range.
