Abstract
A signal receiver processing circuit for isolating a desired signal from an analog input signal that is susceptible to variations in signal power, e.g. from a radio front end, includes a variable gain amplifier, an analog to digital converter, a digital signal processor, and a control unit. The analog to digital converter provides a digital signal to the digital signal processor. The digital signal processor includes a digital filter. The control unit adjusts a filtering accuracy of the analog to digital converter and/or the digital signal processor unit in dependence of a signal quality of the input signal.
