  • Publication number: 20070224960
    Abstract: A radio receiver comprises a first amplifier to amplify a received radio signal; a quadrature demodulator to demodulate the radio signal amplified by said first amplifier and thereby generate a baseband signal; a second amplifier to amplify the baseband signal; a demodulator to demodulate the baseband signal amplified by said second amplifier; and a gain controller to control timing of a change in a gain of said second amplifier, in case that changing the gain of said first amplifier and the gain of said second amplifier, on the basis of a gain of said first amplifier before and after the change.

  • Patent number: 7272371
    Abstract: A radio receiver comprises an LNA which amplifies An RF signal, a quadrature demodulator which directly demodulates the amplified RF signal into a B/B signal, using a LO signal, a VGA which amplifies the B/B signal, a DC offset canceller which executes feedback control on the amplified B/B signal, and a gain controller which controls at least the gain of the LNA, the gain controller including a signal intensity detector which detects the intensity of the amplified B/B signal, a gain selector which selects a desired one of preset gains on the basis of the detected intensity, a timing controller which controls timing of switching to the selected desired gain, and a gain control signal generator which changes, in accordance with the controlled timing, the interval at which an LNA gain control signal is generated.
