The direct conversion, all digital gain control (DC-ADGC) radio receiver employs logarithmic amplifiers in the analog baseband to compress the signal dynamic range before the analog-to-digital converter. An antilog function may then be used in the digital baseband to decompress the signal. Two implementations of the DC-ADGC receiver are...
