Figure 4-3 Control Block Diagram of IF-AGC
In the attack control circuit, in addition to the normal fast gain shift function, we have added a
technology to capture the signal transformation in an overshoot form and to apply moderate gain to
the signal in order to lessen the audible clicks. As an example, Figure 4-4 provides a comparison
between the audio waveform of a CW signal controlled by the conventional AGC attack control and
by the AGC attack control of the TS-590S.

The receive audio quality of the TS-590S has been highly evaluated since its launch, and this level of
quality has not been achieved only by the audio characteristics and hardware elements such as the
speaker, but also the digital AGC control characteristics realized by the latest technologies have also
substantially contributed.
Even now the IF-AGC continues to be examined and enhanced daily for further improvements of the
receive audio quality.
