Abstract
This paper discusses the cascade behaviour of AGC/ASC amplifiers and examines some aspects of system performance and reliability. Potential limitations to the cascading of such amplifiers, heretofore not widely known, are delineated. It is shown that amplification of transients and transfer modulation occur in AGC/ASC amplifier cascades and that extemely large amplitude transients are generated under certain conditions.
