Abstract: A feedback circuit for amplification of the output signal of an analog front end and suppression of its DC and low frequency components comprises a variable gain amplification unit (2) controlled by a gain control signal and a reverse path unit (6) comprising a filter unit (8) with variable time constant. A control unit (13) produces the gain control signal as well as a reverse path control signal (S) which causes adaptation of variable resistances (12) and capacitances (10) in such a way that the time constant of the filter unit (8) varies essentially proportionally with the gain of the variable amplifier unit (2). Thereby the gain of the feedback circuit as a function of the frequency retains its shape with varying gain.
