METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE WANTED SIGNAL IN A RADIO RECEIVING UNIT

摘要

Method for improving the wanted signal in a radio receiving unit It is known for a signal-strength detection unit to be used to detect the ratio of the input signal to the wanted signal obtained after it. A disadvantage in this case is that interference elements, which are also amplified, not only corrupt the output signal of the signal-strength detection unit, but can also adversely affect the quality of the wanted signal. The invention is based on the object of providing a method for improving the wanted signal in the receiving unit of a communications system. The method according to the invention for improving the wanted signal in a radio receiving unit having a channel filter, having a switch, having a control unit, having a signal-strength detection unit and having controllable amplifiers is distinguished in that the control unit drives the switch in such a manner that the switch alternately supplies a first signal upstream of the channel filter and a second signal downstream from the channel filter to the signal-strength detection unit, and that the output signal of the signal-strength detection unit is supplied to the control unit, and that the amplifiers are driven as a function of the output signal.
