1. An apparatus including automatic gain control (AGC), the apparatus comprising:
- at least one variable gain amplifier (VGA) operative to receive an input signal and to generate an amplified signal, a gain of the VGA being controlled as a function of at least a first control signal; and
an AGC circuit coupled to the VGA and being operative to generate the first control signal as a function of at least the amplified signal, the AGC circuit having a bandwidth that is controlled as a function of at least a second control signal such that the bandwidth is independent of the amplified signal;
wherein the AGC circuit is operative to receive the second control signal, the second control signal being indicative of a motion of the apparatus.

Abstract
An apparatus including automatic gain control (AGC) includes at least one variable gain amplifier (VGA) operative to receive an input signal and to generate an amplified signal. A gain of the VGA is controlled as a function of at least a first control signal. The apparatus further includes an AGC circuit coupled to the VGA and being operative to generate the first control signal. The AGC circuit has a bandwidth that is controlled as a function of at least the amplified signal and a second control signal, the second control signal being indicative of a motion of the apparatus.
