Abstract: A filter with adjustable edge steepness includes input terminals for applying a signal to be filtered. One of the input terminals is connected to a reference potential. A signal-forming device is connected to the input terminals for forming a first signal and a second signal from the signal to be filtered. The signal-forming device adjusts a difference between the first signal and the second signal. A subtraction device is connected to the signal-forming device for forming a differential signal from the first signal and the second signal. A frequency-dependent device has an input terminal connected to the subtraction device, an output terminal for supplying another signal, and a filter transfer characteristic to be delivered to the differential signal. An addition device has an output and is connected to the signal-forming device and to the output terminal of the frequency-dependent device for forming a summation signal at the output from the first signal and the other signal.
