    • An automatic gain control (AGC) system (100) for a controlled gain receiver (1101) includes a magnitude generator (160) and a gain corrector (170). The magnitude generator (160) generates a binary voltage squared signal (165) having a binary value that is directly proportional to a recovered signal power of an intercepted signal (113). The gain corrector (170) determines an adjustment of a gain control value (195) as a multiple of increments that are approximately 3 decibel (dB), by shifting (475, 445) a reference threshold by one or more bits and comparing (485, 455) the shifted reference threshold to the binary voltage squared signal. An initial setting of a state of a step attenuator (114) during a track mode (172) is determined during a warm up mode (171) by comparing the binary voltage squared signal (165) to two different thresholds (245, 255).

    • A symbol synchronizer (10) for use in a communication device. The symbol synchronizer (10) comprises a sampling circuit (100) which samples the demodulated signal at a plurality of sampling events for each symbol period to generate three sample values at each sampling event. An eye pattern detector circuit (200) generates eye pattern characteristic information based on the three sample values, and outputs a symbol pulse in response to detecting eye pattern characteristic information consistent with a symbol center. A synchronization noise mask circuit (400) filters symbol pulses that occur during a predetermined period of time after a first symbol pulse is detected for each symbol period. A synchronization adjust circuit (500) generates a synchronization pulse during each symbol period at a particular instant of time during the symbol period based on a history of the occurrences of symbol pulses for a current symbol period and for prior symbol periods.

    • An apparatus and method for updating upper and lower thresholds in peak and valley systems. The apparatus includes comparators which determine which peaks or valleys are eligible for use in the calculation of upper or lower threshold levels. The comparators output the eligible peaks and valleys into statistical blocks that calculate the mean of the peaks and valleys as well as the deviation over a predetermined number of samples. Additional comparators compare either the mean deviation, standard deviation, or variance of the eligible peaks and valleys to predetermined deviation thresholds to determine whether the mean peak or mean valley should be used to calculate update thresholds. The apparatus further includes memory elements that store the mean peak or mean valley values used in the calculation of upper or lower thresholds.
