Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the S/N for weak electric field to make an AGC circuit of the IF band unnecessary by changing the passing band width and the degree of amplification for IF in proportion to and in inverse proportion to the reception electric field. CONSTITUTION:The output of a resonance circuit Q which has a resonance point in the center frequency of IF is amplified by an amplifier A of fixed gain, and an output voltage V0 is obtained through a forward voltage control amplifier beta'. This voltage V0 is fed back negatively to the input side of the resonance circuit Q through a feedback circuit beta. In this case, the feedback rate of the feedback circuit beta is changed in accordance with the reception electric field. The passing band width for IF is changed in proportion to the reception electric field, and the degree of amplification is changed in inverse proportion to the reception electric field. Thus, the AGC function is obtained.

(The transfer function of the basic type of al is as follows, and the frequency characteristics set at Q=98.A=10 are as shown in Figure 2. In (a) to (C) of the same figure, β is set to 0°1
It can be varied within the range of 1 to 1, and three representative points are shown. When β=0.1, the bandwidth is the narrowest, but the gain is the highest. On the other hand, when β=1, the bandwidth is the widest, but the gain is the lowest. Therefore, the control voltage Vc brings β closer to 1 when the received electric field is high, and conversely brings β to 0 when the received electric field is low.
