A receiver includes an input section, a plurality of RF sections, an output circuit, and a controller. The input section receives and amplifies a radio frequency (RF) input signal to provide an amplified RF signal, and has a gain input. The plurality of RF sections each have an input for receiving the amplified RF signal, and an output for providing an intermediate frequency signal. The output circuit provides an intermediate frequency output signal in response to an output of at least one of the plurality of RF sections. The controller has an output coupled to the gain input of the input section.

摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed for automatic gain control (AGC) for analog television signals using feed-forward signal path delay. Adjustments to the AGC frequency response are achieved by introducing an intentional delay in the signal path of sufficient length to allow time for measurement of a horizontal sync pulse level and for application of a feed-forward amplitude correction based upon this measurement to the same horizontal line.
