In a superheterodyne receiver with automatic gain control (AGC), as the strength of the signal increases, the AGC:
reduces the receiver gain
The AGC circuit senses the strength of the received signal (usually at an IF stage or detector) and generates a control voltage that reduces the gain of earlier RF and IF amplifier stages to prevent overload and maintain a relatively constant audio output level.
