An automatic gain control apparatus and method which optimally adjusts the gain of an amplifier to compensate for time-varying energy levels of a received input signal. A control input signal for adjusting the gain of the amplifier is determined by the selective average energy level of a present input signal, the transfer function characteristic of the amplifier and a previous control signal. A fast loop response time maintains the energy level of the amplified output signal at a nominal level.
