Abstract

An A.M. signal generator having an r.f. level control arrangement includes a modulator whose output gain is controllable, a detector for detecting the A.M. wave produced by the modulator and means for sampling and storing the output of the detector at times occurring when the modulating wave passes through a predetermined amplitude level. The sampled and stored signal is then compared with a D.C. voltage and the resultant of the comparison is applied back to the modulator in opposite fashion to variation in the level of the A.M. wave.
