Abstract
An amplifier whose transmission factor is to be controlled as a function of a control voltage and including an amplifier member having a negating input, connected to have its impedance varied by the control voltage and an electronically controllable variable impedance having one side connected to the amplifier member output, a second impedance connected between the other side of the first impedance and ground, and a switch assembly for switching the connections within the amplifier between two operating states providing mutually complementary control characteristics, the amplifier member output providing the amplifier output in one operating state and being connected to the negating input in the other operating state, and the point of connection between the impedances being connected to the negating input in the one operating state and providing the amplifier output in the other operating state.
