Saturation of an A/D converter at a receiver is addressed by forcing a controlled clipping of a peak signal pulse in the analog domain and restoring the pulse using a digital algorithm within the receiver. An A/D converter saturates and clips the peak pulses in the signal. Saturated peaks are restored by an algorithm operating in a baseband digital signal processor that utilizes information related to the time intervals where clipping was applied, along with information associated with the portion of the pulse below the clipping threshold. The time interval information is available from the A/D converter or through use of a separate pulse clipping detection algorithm. Through the use of embodiments of the present invention, the effect of signal clipping on receiver performance is reduced and therefore allows for increased clipping of the received signal.
