Abstract
An analogue frontend, such as is used, for example, in receivers for communications equipment, comprises a plurality of analogue components ( ) which are connected upstream of an analogue/digital converter ( ). In order to control the drive level of the individual analogue components ( ) precisely, the input of the analogue/digital converter ( ) can optionally be connected via a switch-over device ( ) to the output of any one of the analogue components ( ) and a drive level control signal for the respective analogue component ( ) can be generated by a digital control device ( ) by evaluating the sampled value which is then supplied by the analogue/digital converter ( ).
