ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an equalizer filter for compensating a received distorted signal for frequency dependent signal modifications introduced by a transmission channel, the received signal having an amplitude. The filter comprises at least one amplifying compensation stage having a gain and a saturation level, at least one limiting amplifier, and gain control means for controlling the gain of the at least one amplifying compensation stage, the gain control means comprising at least one comparator circuit comparing filtered input and output signals of the limiting amplifier, the at least one comparator circuit comprising a bias current source. The bias current source is adapted to deliver a variable current.
