Automatic Gain Control The Digivance CXD NXD system autolimits any strong in band signal which reaches the RAN at a peak input level of greater than 38 dBm relative to the antenna port The process does this by monitoring A D overflows and adding attenuation in the RDC when these overflow occur AGC events are logged on the CPU running the RDC process Attenuation is backed out as the signal strengt...
