IF derived AGC: how to choose the best block diagram?
I've built several transceivers in the past. I never implemented IF derived AGC, so I decided to give it a try in the next project.
I choose to build a superheterodyne receiver, which will probably ...

Detecting receiver intermodulation distortion?
On some (most?) receivers, if the RF gain is turned up too high, intermodulation distortion increases due to increasing non-linearities (maybe even clipping, etc.)
Is it possible, just by examining ...
