ABSTRACT:
A mixer dynamic control (MDC) system for an AM superheterodyne receiver prevents saturation of the mixer stage caused by out-of-tune signals much more effectively than a so-called wide band RF-AGC system of the known art. The system contemplates detecting the converted IF signal before the band filter, amplifying the detected signal, extracting the dc component thereof and summing such a dc component to a dc control signal generated by a narrow band AGC and applying such a sum signal in lieu of the sole narrow band AGC system's control signal.
