Even though the designer needs to adhere to the standard constraints associated with semiconductor devices, (i.e., absolute maximum ratings) there are a couple of characteristics specific to EPOTs ...

AGC (automatic gain control) amplifiers are frequently used devices. Their gain is a function of the level of their input signal. The main function of AGC amplifiers is compression of a signal, but ...

Once ubiquitous, the incandescent light bulb has become something of a lucerna non grata lately. Banned from home lighting, long gone from flashlights, and laughed out of existence by automotive ...

[Alan’s] friend came to him with a problem. He loved listening to his scanner, but hated the volume differences between stations. Some transmitters would be very low volume, others would nearly blow ...

A component of most GPS receiver front-ends, the automatic gain control (AGC) can flag potential jamming and spoofing attacks. The detection method is simple to implement and accessible to most GPS ...

I am sure JAVAD receivers work quite well to leverage AGC to flag RFI (it was not the survey-grade model I used for the paper, though). The original Nordnav R30 GPS receiver showed both AGC and the L1 ...
