Hi Magnus -

Well. I made homework for sure. Endless viewed websites what others had done. We all seek for the singularity of beauty in our art. At the moment this is a CD4007 or similar without AGC. Cheap, effective. Not oversized. I came from TCA440. One of the not many receiver chips where the IF is at one output reachable. Then I found I must increase carrier frequency beyound 30MHz. So the integrated mixer entered useless. I used an external device. Next I found that the integrated IF-strip is not one of the quiets... Remembering several statements about using CMOS inverters in s.e.d. for analog reasons, the way was clear...

Implementing an AGC makes the design much more complicated. Can oscillate etc.

Going without AGC seems a reasonable way if the modulation is one of the phase modulation systems where amplitude is not very important.

Then look how big is the dynamic range of a simple CMOS inverter.

Meanwhile I found two examples made by others. So the way looks not to idiotic ;-)

Well, have you considered what an AGC might do for you?
It has been the traditional way of reducing the effect of signal level on phase-detector gain and hence on the loop gain. The hard-limiter text is to be seen in this context where the SNR steers the compression factor, i.e. change of loop gain.

Cheers,
Magnus
