A circuit arrangement includes a transceiver unit, a switching device coupled to the transceiver unit with a terminal and a control device coupled to the switching device. The control device is configured to operate in a first and in a second mode of operation. In the first mode of operation, the switching device is configured by the control device such that a first signal is routed from the transceiver unit via the switching device back to the transceiver unit in a feedback loop. In the second mode of operation, the switching device is configured by the control device such that a second signal is routed from the transceiver unit via the switching device to the terminal or the second signal is routed from the terminal via the switching device to the transceiver unit.
