What does the automatic gain control loop act upon?

  • A.The local oscillator frequency
  • B.The gain of the earlier amplifier stages
  • C.The transmitter's modulation index
  • D.The audio volume control setting

Answer: B

The loop rectifies the detected level and feeds it back to reduce the gain of the radio and intermediate frequency stages when the signal is strong, holding the detector's input roughly constant across a huge range of received strengths. It cannot touch the transmitter. The listener's volume control sits after the detector and is deliberately left under manual control. And the oscillator frequency is set by the tuning, not by signal strength.
