  • Microprocessor controlled AGC
    Patent number: 4499586
    Abstract: A receiver for receiving recurring first and second scanning signals. The peak of successive first and second scanning signals is digitally detected and averaged. The gain of an amplifier of the receiver is controlled in response to the averaged peaks to anticipate the magnitude of the next scanning signal. As a result, recurring first and second scanning signals of significantly different magnitudes are received and processed by the receiver.
