A wireless or wired communication system and method is provided including a transmitter and a receiver. A RF communication system in accordance with the present invention includes an apparatus and gain control method between RF receiver (803) and baseband modem (804) in case of a plurality of gain stages (830, 846, 862) inside a receiver (803). The gain of each stage (830, 846, 862) can be controlled by an integrated gain controller (828). The gain controller (828) monitors the signal level of each gain stage (830, 846, 862) to place its gain to optimal value. The gain control apparatus and method can be implemented in a digital AGC system. The gain controller (828) accepts a signal (826) implementing gain control and thus there is no stability issue. When distributed gain stages are present inside a related art receiver and separate gain control loops are used, stability issues can arise.
