Techniques for performing joint time-frequency automatic gain control (AGC) by a receiver are described. In an aspect, the receiver may transform time-domain samples with a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to obtain frequency-domain symbols and may detect for saturation of the frequency-domain symbols. The receiver may adjust a gain based on whether saturation is detected and may apply the gain prior to the FFT. In one design, the receiver may use a nominal value for a setpoint if saturation is not detected and may reduce the setpoint if saturation is detected. The receiver may adjust the gain based on the setpoint, which may determine the average power of the time-domain samples. In another design, the receiver may determine the gain based on a gain offset and may vary the gain offset based on whether saturation is detected. For both designs, the receiver may apply the gain on digital samples and/or an analog signal prior to the FFT.
