Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A variable gain amplifier is adjusted to maintain its amplification within a linear range i.e. to prevent saturation of the amplifier, by utilizing the output of an analog-to-digital converter, which is arranged to convert an analog output of the amplifier to a digital representation, by a digital computer to effect the gain change of the amplifier. Concurrently, the output signal of the digital computer representing the output signal from the analog-to-digital converter is modified to produce a system output signal based on a constant overall gain of the system which is equivalent to the highest available gain from the amplifier. Thus while, the amplifier gain is adjusted by the computer …
