Abstract
A problem that arises in most communication receivers concerns the wide variation in power level of the signals received at the antenna. These variations cause serious problems which can usually be solved in receiver design by using Automatic Gain Control (AGC). AGC is achieved by using an amplifier whose gain can be controlled by external current or voltage. However, the AGC circuit does not respond to rapid changes in the amplitude of input. If input changes instantaneously, then even if op-amps could follow the change, the envelope detector capacitor could not, since the capacitor's voltage could not change instantaneously. To alleviate this deficiency, we present Improved Automatic Gain Control Circuit (IAGCC) replacing AGC circuit to FLC.
