In a ratio detector

the circuit is the same as in a discriminator, except that the diodes are reversed
the output is twice that obtainable from a similar phase discriminator
the linearity is worse than in phase discriminator
stabilization against signal strength variations is provided

In a radio receiver with simple AGC

The audio stage gain is normally controlled by the AGC
An increase in signal strength produces more AGC
The highest AGC voltage is produced
The faster the AGC time constant the more accurate the output
