Embodiment
For let the above-mentioned of the utility model and other purposes, feature and advantage can be more obviously understandable, the hereinafter spy enumerates preferred embodiment, and cooperates appended graphicly, elaborates as follows:
Fig. 2 shows the automatic gain control circuit of implementing according to the utility model one.Automatic gain control circuit comprises analogue variable gain amplifier 210, fixed gain amplifier 220, testing circuit 230 and error amplifier 240.Wherein, analogue variable gain amplifier 210 receives an input differential signal, adjusts this amplifier's gain to export a differential signal according to a control signal; Fixed gain amplifier 220 is coupled to said analogue variable gain amplifier 210, should output differential signal in order to receive, and amplify fixedly multiple to produce a differential output signal; Testing circuit 230 is coupled to said fixed gain amplifier 220, should export differential signal in order to receive, and the amplitude that detects this signal is to produce a detection signal; Error amplifier 240 is coupled to said testing circuit 230, produces in order to receive this detection signal and reference voltage, through amplifying to produce an analog control signal.
In the automatic gain control circuit of the utility model; 210 output Output are connected in series with fixed gain amplifier 220 at the analogue variable gain amplifier, between the output of fixed gain amplifier 220 and analogue variable gain amplifier 210 gain control ends, are connected in parallel to testing circuit 230 and error amplifier 240.
In the automatic gain control circuit of the utility model, system input Input input signal is an intermediate-freuqncy signal, and input reference signal is 30MHz~50MHz.
Testing circuit 230 comprises an amplitude detection circuit and a low pass filter.
Analogue variable gain amplifier input signal S21 and S22 that analogue variable gain amplifier 210 receives from input Input; And with its amplification generation analogue variable gain amplifier output signal S23 and S24; Fixed gain amplifier 220 receives analogue variable gain amplifier output signal S23 and S24 and amplifies fixedly multiple; Produce fixed gain amplifier output signal S25 and S26 to export the Output end to; Testing circuit 230 receives the output signal and detects its amplitude, produces detection signal S27, and error amplifier 240 amplification detection signal S27 and reference voltage VREF produce control signal S28.
According to the utility model one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, analogue variable gain amplifier 210 comprise a plurality of analogue variable gain level A1 that are connected in series, A2 ... An.Error amplifier S240 can be made up of at least one operational amplifier, so error amplifier S240 can amplification detection signal S27 and reference voltage VREF.For example: when the amplitude of fixed gain amplifier output signal S25 and S26 the time greater than reference voltage; Testing circuit S230 produces the amplitude that detection signal S27 promptly exports signal; Because this moment, detection signal amplitude S27 was greater than reference voltage, so the output signal of error amplifier S240, promptly control signal S28 can reduce; Thereby reduce the gain of analogue variable gain amplifier S210; Behind fixed gain amplifier S220, the amplitude of fixed gain amplifier output signal S25 and S26 is reduced, through after a while; Automatic gain control circuit 200 can be stabilized in a state, and promptly the amplitude of fixed gain amplifier output signal S25 and S26 equals reference voltage VREF.In like manner; When the amplitude of fixed gain amplifier output signal S25 and S26 during less than reference voltage; The amplitude of the detection signal S27 of testing circuit S230 makes the control signal S28 of generation increase also less than reference voltage behind error amplifier S240 amplification detection signal S27 and the reference voltage signal VREF, thus the gain that increases analogue variable gain amplifier S210; The amplitude of its analogue variable gain amplifier output signal S23 and S24 also increases; Behind fixed gain amplifier S220, the amplitude of fixed gain amplifier output signal S25 and S26 is increased, through after a while; Automatic gain control circuit 200 can be stabilized in a state, and promptly the amplitude of fixed gain amplifier output signal S25 and S26 equals reference voltage.This shows; And a low pass filter arranged in the testing circuit; The size variation that the output signal does not have a big instantaneous variation amount output signal is to be adjusted gain gradually and stablized by circuit, can avoid receiver input signal wide variation to cause late-class circuit saturated or unstable, thus the malfunction that causes.Wherein input signal can be that its frequency range of an intermediate-freuqncy signal is 30MHz~50MHz.
