The present invention provides for a gain control circuit (10) and method for providing gain control of a variable amplification circuit (16) using a pilot signal. A pilot signal is added to the received signal. The pilot signal has at least a minimum signal level which when added to the signal received insures the sampled input signal has a level above the point where offset or low power errors are experienced. Preferably the pilot signal will be a sinusoidal signal having a frequency within the operational bandwidth of the amplifier (16), but outside the frequency range of the input signal.
