ABSTRACT:
An automatic gain control apparatus includes an optical receiving element. The optical receiving element generates electrical signals with an adjustable multiplication factor. A variable gain controller amplifies the electrical signals with an adjustable gain. A comparator generates determined signals corresponding to the difference between levels of an amplified signal from the gain controller and a predetermined signal. A comparator controls the gain of the controller. Also, bias signals are produced for setting the multiplication factor to first and second defined values.
