Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention provides a wireless communication system, and more particularly, a gain control of a wireless communication system. [Prior Art] In today's online world, the importance of mobility is increasing day by day. Therefore, the use of wireless local area network (WLAN) is becoming more and more widespread. Division multiplexing, OFDM) is the transmission technology currently used in high-speed wireless local area networks. In a wireless local area network that typically uses the concept of positive-father crossover multiplexing, the maximum data transfer rate per band is 54 Mbps, which is significantly less than the data transfer rate of wired local area networks (up to 100 Mbps/IGbps, even i〇GbpS). ). The technologies used today (such as the specifications of IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g wireless local area networks) have caused wireless local area networks to have this data transfer rate limit. Please refer to Figure -, Figure - is a block diagram of the conventional wireless area network. In the figure, a conventional wireless local area network 1G is shown, including a capture point (Ac·P〇_2, a first user terminal 14 and a second user terminal i6. Wireless local area network) K) is - face lla or 1 qing view. 11 § no _ domain network class typical _. The capture point 12 includes an _antenna (or antenna pair), and communicates with the (IV) first-user terminal Η and the second user terminal 16; the first user terminal 14 includes an antenna; and the second user terminal includes There are two antennas. At 1285981, point 12 is used. One antenna is used to compare with the first and second cents terminals, and the two antennas are used for the above two antennas. Please refer to the second, the second song - no _ domain network ^ two said (four) ___ towel reward (four), by:: day _ in different frequency bands, the first - user terminal 14 f f with thin 16 to make the H band And the third frequency band, because of the data transmission rate of the wireless area or the network parent band ps, we can know that the first user terminal 14 and the first user terminal 16 have a transfer rate limit of 54 Mbps and just Mbps. It is necessary to increase the number of usable frequency bands and the number of antennas of the user terminal. There is a way to increase the data transfer rate limit of the user terminal. In addition, if the wireless area network! 〇 There are only three available frequency bands, and the four antennas of point 12 have one antenna that cannot communicate with the user. The frequency designation has been set in the IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 8〇2 Ug standards. For example, in the IEEE802.11a-1999 specification, there are 12 frequency bands for the 5Ghz frequency for use =. In the IEEE8G2.11g specification, the 2.4Ghz frequency has The 3 bands are used for communication. It can be seen from the foregoing that the 'prior art' band can only be used for one antenna, so each frequency band has a data transmission rate limit of 54 Mbps. An automatic control gain method for an amplifier of a receiver in a conventional wireless communication system and related circuitry can be found in US Pat. No. 6,363,127 and US Pat. No. 6,574,292. However, the patent does not vacate the receiver with multiple antennas to automatically control the gain and related data in the transmission path of a single frequency band of 1285981. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for automatically controlling gain when receiving data in a single frequency band, and using a gain processor to measure the rated power of a short preamble symbol, determine candidate power, and Set the gain of the receiver amplifier. Briefly stated, the present invention discloses a method of automatically controlling the gain of a receiving antenna, the steps comprising: amplifying the plurality of domains using at least - amplification ;; (using at least one analog to digital conversion H electrically connected to the amplification 以Sampling the amplified plurality of signals on the tree domain; determining, based on the rated power of the first symbol group received by the plurality of receiving antennas, using a processor electrically coupled to the analog to digital converter At least - the candidate god; the candidate power of the root thief is set to the gain of the amplifier. [Embodiment] Multi-antenna system: Bit 2, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Figure 3 is a plurality of transmitter antennas and a plurality of receiver antennas Figure 2 illustrates the concept of data transmission and reception in a plurality of transmitter antennas and a plurality of interfaces. When multiple transmission signals are transmitted in multiple channels (such as hll), After the interference between the antennas, the form of the transmitted signal (4) received by the solid is substantially synchronously received. 1285981 ===下__Antenna, send and dry excellent h h hu hn ··· hXM ^21 厶22 ^ 2Μ

From equation (10), we can know that if the communication system is added, the interference between the antennas is counted as the known calibration resource 14 1285981 , Pk '. The estimated channel frequency response matrix is the - unit matrix. Here, the received signal is equal to the l field (noise is ignored) in the program (4). In the actual _ sub, the inter-antenna interference = _ estimated contact 62 determines the estimated channel frequency response matrix according to the above equation (10). It is estimated that the r meter module 62 determines the estimated channel frequency by two according to the equation 〇〇), and the channel compensation module 6 〇 uses the estimated channel frequency response matrix to estimate the transmitted signals as described in the following equation: (11 Ideally equal to the square where §, the system - contains a plurality of vectors for estimating the transmission, S in the program (4). Please refer to Figure 4, Figure 5 and Equation (5) to Equation (10). The following is a detailed description of the county letter. The configuration is to transmit read _4 22 so that it contains some of the known calibration data. The matching scale is in accordance with the wire type (5) and the program (9).
