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. One output terminal is connected to the output of the addition device and another output terminal is connected to the reference potential.
