An automatic gain control (AGC) circuit for microwave applications is disclosed. The AGC circuit includes a power divider for splitting the signal to be controlled into two signal paths. In one signal path the signal is passed through a GaAs monolithic attenuator. In the other signal path, an RF detector provides a detector output signal to a shaper circuit, which responds to the detector signal to provide control signals to the attenuator. Thus, the AGC circuit employs a feed forward technique for gain control, to provide fast settling times for the circuit.
