What does automatic gain control act upon?

  • A.The detector's load resistance
  • B.The gain of the radio and intermediate frequency stages
  • C.The audio volume control setting chosen by the listener
  • D.The local oscillator amplitude

Answer: B

The loop rectifies the detected carrier level and reduces the gain of the stages ahead of the detector, holding its input roughly constant over an enormous range of received strengths. The listener's volume control stays under manual control after the detector, deliberately. Oscillator amplitude is set by its own circuit. And the detector's load is a fixed component. Feeding a measured output back to an earlier gain is the general shape of every automatic level system.
