Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the influence of a noise from being received by matching sample timing and sampling the peak value of a reproduced base band signal by a sampling signal, which is synchronized to the base band signal, for this base band signal. CONSTITUTION:A reproduced base band signal 11 is sampled by a sampling signal 15, which is synchronized to this base band signal 11, and outputted as data. For the period of this sampling signal 15, the timing is matched with the peak value of an absolute value signal 12 and the data are supplied to a sample hold part 14. Namely, in the sample hole part 4, only the peak value of the absolute value signal 12 is sampled and outputted as a sampling hold signal 13. An AGC signal 14 to be outputted from a filter part 5 is fed back to an amplifier 1 with AGC. Thus, the influence of the noise is excluded.

As explained above, in the present invention, the peak value of the signal is sampled by matching the sampling timing of the reproduced baseband signal with the sampling signal that is synchronized with the baseband signal, so the received signal can be directly peak-detected. The probability of being affected by noise is reduced by the ratio of one data time to the sample time. Therefore, there is an effect that the output fluctuation of the AGC amplifier can be made constant down to a low S/N. Also, by using this AGC method, low S
It has great effects when applied to AGC circuits for automatic satellite tracking under /N.
