Abstract

PURPOSE:To constitute a titled amplifier with an integrated circuit by a digital element by once converting an analog signal which sufferes the loss of a transmission line into a digital signal so as to process the signal and converting the said signal into the analog signal again. CONSTITUTION:A transmission line signal 11 which suffers the loss of the transmission line is sampled in a sampling circuit 4 and made to be a binarized signal in an AND conversion circuit 5 so as to be inputted in a digital filter 6. And the peak-to-peak value of an equalizing signal 12 is detected in a P-P detection circuit 2. The difference between the detection signal and a fixed comparison voltage Vref is amplified in a differential amplifier 3 to be outputted and the output is sampled in the sampling circuit 8 to be converted into the binarized signal in an A.D converter 9, after that it is inputted in a ROM 603. The ROM 603 outputs a constant signal corresponding to the input and if the equalizing signal 12 alters in an increasing direction the digital filter 6 works in a direction decreasing a gain by a multiplication coefficient which decreases the gain stored in the ROM 603, so that an automatic gain control can be executed. Thus it is possible to consist the amplifier with integrated circuit.
