Method of automatic gain control of a digital receiver (1) comprising amplifier means (2). The method comprises the following steps: - sampling at a predetermined sampling frequency of the output signal (s(t)) from the said amplifier means; - processing of the samples obtained including, for each sample, a comparison of the absolute value of this sample respectively to a predetermined maximum and minimum threshold; and - adjustment of the gain (G) of the amplifier means (2) carried out on completion of each sample processing, in such a way that: * if a sample is outside a maximum bracket [-SMAX, +SMAX], this gain (G) is reduced by a predetermined reduction level, * if several successive samples, of a predetermined number, lie within a minimum bracket [-SMIN, +SMIN], this gain (G) is increased by a predetermined increase level. Use especially in mobile telephony. IMAGE
