ABSTRACT:
An automatic gain control loop for a radio receiver, comprising a switchable lowpass filter (21) to reduce distortions in an analogue gain control signal (6) by switching said switchable lowpass filter (21) to a low time constant in case a change of a gain control signal (6) of the automatic gain control loop lies above a predetermined threshold, which low time constant is lower than a normally used time constant, comprises a hold unit (24) which affects that said switchable lowpass filter (21) uses said low time constant a predetermined time after a change of the gain control signal (6) of the automatic gain control loop lies below said predetermined threshold.
