What is delayed automatic gain control?

  • A.Gain control applied only to the audio stage
  • B.Gain control whose reference is derived from the local oscillator
  • C.Gain reduction that begins only above a threshold signal level
  • D.Gain control with a very long time constant

Answer: C

Delaying the action lets weak signals enjoy full gain and applies reduction only once the signal exceeds a threshold, which improves sensitivity on weak stations without sacrificing the protection strong ones need. A long time constant is a separate design parameter concerning how fast the loop responds. Audio-only control would not protect the detector. And the oscillator carries no information about signal strength. The refinement is a good example of shaping a control law to the operating range that matters.
