A feedback circuit for amplification of the output signal of an analog front end and suppression of its DC and low frequency components comprises a variable gain amplification unit (2) controlled by a gain control signal and a reverse path unit (6) comprising a filter unit (8) with variable time constant. A control unit (13) produces the gain control signal as well as a reverse path control signal (S) which causes adaptation of variable resistances (12) and capacitances (10) in such a way that the time constant of the filter unit (8) varies essentially proportionally with the gain of the variable amplifier unit (2). Thereby the gain of the feedback circuit as a function of the frequency retains its shape with varying gain. As the reverse path control signal (S) can be produced from different inputs selectable by selectors (20a, 20b) in the control unit (13) and due to the adaptability of the reverse path unit (6) and other features the analog base band unit is suited for the processing of signals of various types, e.g. signals pertaining to GPS and mobile telecommunication systems.
