Abstract: An amplifier having an automatic threshold
control circuit (ATC, 10) and a limiting amplifier
(40). The ATC (10) detects and holds a top value
(peak value) and bottom value of an input signal,
and outputs the middle value between the top and
bottom values as a reference voltage. The limiting
amplifier (40) amplifies the input signal in a
linear operating region whose center is set at the
reference voltage, thereby maintaining the output
amplitude at a constant value. Even if the
amplitude and the level of the input signals
instantaneously changes by a large amount, the ATC
can follow the change, so that the offset
compensation and gain compensation of the amplifier
can be achieved instantaneously. This makes it
possible to continue producing the output of a
constant amplitude with little phase deviations.

multiplied by a secret key L(g p ) -1  mod p to obtain the plaintext m.
