Abstract

AC coupling is effected by a feedback circuit that detects a DC component in the coupled signal, and adjusts a DC subtraction signal accordingly. In one embodiment, a digital signal processor (DSP) analyzes the coupled signal for a remaining DC component, and controls the subtraction signal. Use of a DSP allows dynamic control of parameters including AC cutoff frequency, gain, and transfer function. Another embodiment provides accurately phase matched AC coupling across two or more signal channels.
