Automatic Gain Control
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is used keep a constant recording volume regardless of the input signal level. AGC is typically one of the last Voice Quality Enhancement (VQE) blocks of the transmit path of the microphone signal. A wide dynamic range of input speech levels can be difficult and tiresome to the listener on the far-end. AGC is implemented to resolve this issue.
The gain by which to achieve a constant recording level is determined by monitoring the voice activity state and the peak levels of the input signal. When talkers speak too softly or are located a far distance away, then the signal will be amplified. When the talkers speak too loudly or are located close to the microphone, then the signal will be attenuated.
