1. A digital baseband (DBB) receiver comprising:

  • (a) means for amplifying an incoming signal;

    (b) means for generating real and imaginary analog signal components based on the incoming signal;

    (c) means for digitizing the signal components;

    (d) means for providing an estimate of the direct current (DC) residing on each of the digitized components;

    (e) means for subtracting the DC estimates from each respective one of the digitized signal components to provide an adjusted real signal component and an adjusted imaginary signal component;

    (f) means for providing estimates of the absolute power and magnitude of the adjusted signal components; and

    (g) means for enabling or disabling the amplifying means based on the absolute power and magnitude estimate.
