Abstract: A frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system includes an automatic gain control (AGC) unit to reduce the dynamic range of the signal to be processed. The system detects a return beam of a light signal transmitted to a target, having a first dynamic range in a time domain. The AGC unit can measure a power of the return beam, and apply variable gain in the time domain to reduce a dynamic range of the return beam to a lower dynamic. An analog to digital converter (ADC) generates a digital signal based on the return beam. A processor can perform time domain processing on the digital signal, convert the digital signal from the time domain to a frequency domain, and perform frequency domain processing on the digital signal in the frequency domain.
