Communications adaptive automatic gain controller
First Claim
1. A controller for providing an output signal from an input signal, the input signal and output signal are m-ary signals modulated within a constellation space defining communicated symbols communicated in the input signal, the controller comprising,a gain controller for receiving the input signal and providing automatic gain control of the input signal for generating an adjusted input signal, the automatic gain control serving to align the adjusted input signal to the constellation space, anda scaling processor for receiving the adjusted input signal and scaling the adjusted input signal into the output signal.

Abstract
An adaptive scaling processor operates in combination with a conventional automatic gain control controller providing an amplification gain A to m-ary symbol-modulated communication signals, the scaling processor scaling by a scaling factor Z the m-ary communication signal for providing an over all gain of an (A)(Z) product minimizing the BER that is optimum for the communications channel for improved BER performance in communication systems.

9. A controller for providing an output signal from an input signal, the input signal and output signal are m-ary signals modulated within a constellation space defining communicated symbols communicated in the input signal, the controller comprising,
a gain controller for receiving the input signal and providing automatic gain control of the input signal for generating an adjusted input signal, the automatic gain control serving to align the adjusted input to the constellation space, a multiplier for scaling the adjusted input by a scaling factor into the output, and an adaptive processor for receiving the adjusted input signal and scaling the adjusted input signal into the output signal, the output signal indicates symbols that are misaligned to the constellation space generating the bit error rate, and the adaptive processor for receiving a parameter for generating the scaling factor, the parameter indicating a bit error rate.
