  • Patent number: 5758272
    Abstract: An automatic gain controlling mechanism of radio frequency amplifier for a glass antenna in a car audio system includes a radio frequency amplifier, an FM front end part used as a tuner, an FM detector/multiplexer, a volume controller and a voltage amplifier. The radio frequency amplifier is gain-variable. A microprocessor is connected to a voltage level output terminal of the FM detector/multiplexer at the data input terminal for receiving a voltage level signal detected by the FM detector/multiplexer and determining an intensity of an electric field intensity. The microprocessor is also connected to a gain variable terminal of the RF amplifier at the output terminal for transmitting a gain controlling signal to the RF amplifier. Thus, the increase or decrease of the gain of the radio frequency amplifier is automatically controlled.
