Abstract
The present invention relates to an active analog filter including a differential amplifier, an output of which provides a filtered signal and a non-inverting input of which is connected to a median potential between supply potentials of the amplifier, a first series association of a first fixed resistor and a first variable resistor between an input terminal of a signal to be filtered and an inverting input terminal of the amplifier, a second series association of a second fixed resistor and a second variable resistor between the output of the amplifier and its inverting input terminal, and a third variable resistor in series with a filtering capacitor, between a midpoint of one of the series associations and the median potential.
