The importance of AGC on transmitter side in GSM BTS

Hi all,
I have a question about GSM BTS.
I all reference design I found an AGC on transmitter side.
Why it seems so important?

Tx

it is use to do the power control

it might have many uses like
preventing the internal circuit from damage due to excessive power level.... to counteract signal variation due to fading....

hi,

AGC IS NOTHING BUT NEGATIVE FEED BACK IS GIVEN TO THE AMPLIFIER..


SO WHN DUE TO SOME ERROR OR ANY THING TRASMITTING POWER IS INCREASES BEYOND SOME LEVEL GAIN OF AMPLIFIER IS AUTOMATICALLY REDUCE DUE TO NEGATIVE FEED BACK TO AMPLIFIER...


IF U NOT DO THIS MOBILE WILL RECEIVE LARGE POWE & MAY CAUSES DAMAGED TO IT .......

Yes the purpose of GSM AGC is also to provide different power levels. Normally the base station interacts with you mobile phone and sets the power level. If the base station sets a high power level this means that your phone power consumption will be increase and decrease your battery life. So normally the phone reads the power level request from the BT and sets the output level accordingly. The power level must be quite stable and not to oscillate so the AGC it is also responsible of fine control of the power level.
