摘要:
A phase demodulator for recovering the modulating wave from a phase-moduld wave. A frequency divider is provided to divide the phase-modulated wave in frequency to produce a phase-modulated subharmonic wave which is compared in a phase comparator with a signal produced by passing the phase-modulated subharmonic wave through a syncrhonous filter set at its carrier frequency. The filtered output of the phase comparator is proportional to the amplitude of the modulating wave.

High speed automatic gain control (AGC) circuitry, capable of use in pulse or CW systems, incorporates hysteresis for improving the stability and distortion characteristics of the AGC. After a gain setting is selected, the built-in hysteresis feature prevents an adjustment in that gain setting until the amplitude of the input signal varies more than a predetermined amount. Sampling of the amplitude of the input signal and gain adjustments are accomplished by digital circuitry. In one embodiment, AGC is on a pulse-to-pulse basis.
