Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit in a superheterodyne receiver?

  • To convert the received signal to an intermediate frequency
  • To maintain a constant output voltage level over a wide range of input signal levels (correct)
  • To filter out unwanted signals
  • To amplify weak signals for reliable reception
  • Which component(s) of the superheterodyne receiver does the AGC circuit typically control the gain for?

  • Both the RF amplifier and the IF amplifiers (correct)
  • Only the IF amplifiers
  • Only the RF amplifier
  • None of the amplifiers, it controls the gain of the mixer
  • How does the AGC circuit determine the appropriate gain adjustment?

  • By monitoring the output signal level from the oscillator
  • By monitoring the output signal level from the mixer
  • By monitoring the output signal level from the detector (correct)
  • By directly monitoring the input signal level
  • What happens when a very high amplitude signal is applied to a receiver without AGC?
