Yes the positive feedback causes the gain to rise as the impedance
does.

It matches up nicely with the loss so that the amplitude ends up
nearly flat.

The two resistors for the phase fixing don't quite match up perfectly
but it makes the error hit zero at 5 points along the travel of the
pot so it is darn good.

AGC is way more complex than just adding a single resistor to the
design so why go that way?

Yes it is more complex, but it sort of get you a 100% correct amplitude.
I do not see a flat curve with resistors, that math eludes me.

Time to fire up your spreadsheet and give it a try.

The amplitude error on the 90 degree version is about 0.36%
with a max phase error of 0.03 degrees assuming ideal parts

Rpot=1000
RtoWiper=1805
Rneg=-667

Ohh neat, I was going to try 2k as a guess.

Ahh, you did all the work for us.

I've never built an AGC circuit Jan, there must be some amplitude
error as the input changes.

OK that's not quite true, I've made a rectifier, integrator, minus
reference level driving FET as varible feed back resistor...
MooseFET's circuit is much easier.

PS
Seems like DDS beats it all.
