ABSTRACT:
An automatic gain control circuit is disclosed which is direct coupled to phase opposed outputs of an IF amplifier and provides a DC control voltage for controlling the gain of the amplifier. The AGC circuit includes a peak-to-peak threshold detector and an integrating capacitor. The quiescent voltage across the capacitor is accurately established by a voltage divider network and a feedback network. Separate current sources are provided to establish dual time constants in the circuit so that distortion is minimized while accommodating a stop on station feature.
