Application: Fast automatic gain control in bypass and filter modes (Patent ID: US20240106562A1)

Qualcomm Inc. has filed a patent for methods and apparatus for automatic gain control (AGC) in bypass and filter modes for RF front-end circuitry. The method involves operating a receiver in a first mode during a set of symbols of a subframe, then determining whether to switch to a second mode in a subsequent subframe based on the output of a jamming detection circuit during a specific symbol. The receiver is controlled to operate in the determined mode in the subsequent subframe.

The patent claims detail the method for wireless communication, including operating a transmitter, switching between modes based on jamming detection, and selecting gain states for reception signals. The claims also cover the operation of the receiver in different modes, such as filtering or bypassing signals, based on the presence of jamming signals. Additionally, the patent includes claims for a wireless device and apparatus implementing the described methods for AGC in RF front-end circuitry.
