METHOD 4007

AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL RANGE

1. PURPOSE

. This method establishes the means for measuring the automatic gain control range of a linear amplifier.

1.1 Definitions

. The following definition shall apply for the purpose of this test method.

1.1.1 Automatic gain control range (AGC)

. The AGC range is the total change in voltage gain which may be achieved by

application of a specified range of dc voltages to the AGC input terminal of the device.

AGC = 20

log

max

min

2. APPARATUS

. The apparatus shall consist of a sweep generator, voltage source, resistors, capacitors, an ac

voltmeter, and a distortion analyzer.

2.1 Sweep generator

. The sweep generator must cover the frequency range of the amplifier under test. It shall have an

adjustable output level which is flat over the sweep range. It shall be capable of single frequency operation.

2.2 Voltage source

. The voltage source shall be capable of supplying the specified AGC voltages to the test circuit. The

voltage source shall be free of noise or ripple at its outputs.

2.3 Capacitors and resistors

. The capacitors and resistors shall be within 1 per cent or better of the specified values and

stable over the test temperature range.

2.4 AC voltmeter

. The ac voltmeter shall be capable of measuring the amplifier output voltage without loading and shall

have a frequency range that will cover the amplifier under test.

2.5 Distortion analyzer

. The distortion analyzer or meter shall be usable over the passband of the amplifier and shall not

load the amplifier.

3. PROCEDURE

. The test circuit shown on figure 4007-1 shall be used for this test. R

and C

shall be selected to

properly load and decouple the circuit, respectively. The AGC voltage is set for maximum gain. The input signal is applied

(constant frequency) and increased until the output exhibits maximum allowable distortion. The generator is swept over the

prescribed range and the bandwidth noted.

The AGC voltage is varied over the specified range and the reduction in gain is measured. The above measurements are

repeated and the bandwidth and signal handling capability recorded.

4. SUMMARY

. The following details shall be specified in the applicable acquisition document for specified values of C

and R

a. AGC range.

b. Test frequency range.

c. Increase in bandwidth over the AGC range.

d. Maximum reduction in output impedance, where applicable.

e. Minimum reduction in input signal capability, where applicable.

f. Any other variations when applicable, such as power variation, overloading, limitations as to linearity of gain

response versus AGC voltage, etc.

g. Test temperature(s). Unless otherwise specified, all parameters shall be measured at the minimum and maximum

specified ambient operating temperature and at 25°C ambient.
