Abstract

A radio receiver (107) including at least two amplifier (245, 247, 207) stages each having adjustable gain. The receiver (107) generates a first and a second control signal (267, 229) In absence of receiving an input signal, the receiver (107) adjusts the gain of at least the first of the at least two amplifier stages (207) with said first control signal (229). Upon generation of the second control signal (267) the gain of the first of the at least two amplifiers stages (207) is maintained at a constant level. The gain of a second of the at least two amplifier stages (247) is adjusted with said first control signal (229), producing an output signal (269). A predetermined amplitude of the output signal (269) is maintained while receiving an input signal.
