8.3.4.8. Automatic Gain Control
17-001109 AGC Detector Assembly (Logarithmic)
17-001117 AGC Detector Assembly
17-001201 AGC Attenuator Assembly
The sub components 17-001109, 17-001117 & 17-001201 are parts of the Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) system used in 700MHz Line Amplifier (55-165702); 17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for
use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the downlink
700MHz Line Amplifier (55-165702) is fitted with two differing types of Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
system, one linear, and one logarithmic. The AGC with logarithmic detector (17-001117) is fitted in the
uplink path and the AGC with linear detector (17-001109) is fitted in the downlink path
The AFL Automatic Gain Control system consists of two units, a detector/amplifier and an attenuator.
The detector/amplifier unit is inserted in the RF path on the output of the power amplifier, and the
attenuator is situated in the RF path between the 1st and 2nd stages of amplification.
17-001117 and 17-001201 are paired for use in the uplink and 17-001109 and 17-001201 are paired
for use in the downlink
The attenuator comprises a 50Ω P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to 30dB.
The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated detector controller
board.
