Which consequence results when receiver amplifier gain exceeds automatic gain control (AGC) limits in a radar signal processor?

💡 Explanation

Signal saturation and distortion occurs. The AGC circuit reduces amplifier gain in response to strong input signals to maintain signal fidelity; because the AGC fails, saturation occurs therefore, rather than maintaining linearity, which is crucial for differentiating targets in radar signal processing, leading to target misidentification.
