    摘要: An amplifier and method of amplifying a signal is presented. The amplifier contains a fixed gain stage, a digitally controllable gain stage, and a continuously variable attenuator connected between the fixed and controllable gain stages. The attenuator and controllable gain stage are controllable such that the gain of the controllable gain stage is decreased when the attenuation of the attenuator reaches a predetermined maximum value and the attenuation of the attenuator is reduced thereafter. The output power level of the amplifier remains constant.

    摘要: A frequency source having a fast start-up time and low noise in steady state is presented. The frequency source includes an oscillator and a hybrid automatic gain control (AGC) loop that switches between an analog AGC loop at oscillator start up and a digital AGC loop at steady state operation. The analog AGC loop includes a peak detector connected to the oscillator and an error integrator integrating the difference between the peak detector output and a reference voltage. The digital AGC loop includes a comparator comparing the peak detector output and high/low reference voltages, an oscillator counter providing a timer signal, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) supplied with a digital word, and a low pass filter between the DAC and the oscillator. The timer signal causes a multiplexer to select either the analog AGC loop or the digital AGC loop.
