Amplifier gain control circuit for the wireless transceiver
First Claim
1. An amplifier gain control circuit for the wireless transceiver, comprising:
- at least one amplifier;
an analog to digital converter connected to said amplifier and used for receiving an analog gain control voltage to transform into a digital control signal, wherein the digital control signal is used for controlling the gain of said amplifier by a digital process;
a digital to analog converter connected to said analog to digital converter and used for receiving said digital control signal to transform into an analog signal; and
a bias circuit connected to said digital to analog converter and said amplifier, used for receiving said analog gain control voltage and said analog signal and accordingly providing an analog bias to said amplifier to fine tune and correct the gain of said amplifier by an analog process, such that the least bit error occurred during the gain of said amplifier by the digital process can be corrected.

Abstract
An amplifier gain control circuit for the wireless transceiver comprises at least one amplifier, an analog to digital converter (ADC), a digital to analog converter (DAC) and a bias circuit, wherein the ADC is used for receiving an analog gain control voltage to generate a digital control signal that can be used for controlling the gain of the amplifier, the DAC is used for receiving the digital signal to generate an analog signal, and the bias circuit is used for receiving the analog signal and the analog gain control voltage to further fine-tune the gain of the amplifier by the analog process for correcting the least bit error during the digital process, therefore, the amplifier during the gain adjustment will be prevented to operate in the nonlinear area.
