SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODULATING FILTER COEFFICIENTS IN A CHANNELIZER
Circuit and method for modulating filter coefficients of a frequency channelizer having a filter bank include: receiving a wide spectrum input signal; modulating the filter coefficients of the filter bank to sweep a center frequency of each channel of the frequency channelizer, using a modulation scheme; and inputting frequency offset compensation caused by the modulation, and output signals of the frequency channelizer to an application processing circuit to convert the output signals to their original center frequencies.
Transformation Based Filter for Interpolation or Decimation
A digital filter for interpolation or decimation and a device incorporating the digital filter is disclosed. The digital filter includes a filter block, a first transformation circuit coupled to the filter block and an input stream coupled to provide input values to a component selected from the filter block and the first transformation circuit.

High accuracy millimeter wave/radio frequency wideband in-phase and quadrature generation
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide circuits for generating high accuracy millimeter wave or radio frequency (RF) wideband in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) oscillating signals having acceptable amplitude and phase mismatch over process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations with reduced cost, area, and power consumption. In one example apparatus, a polyphase filter having a first stage and a second stage is provided. Each stage comprises resistive elements and capacitive elements. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for intentional resistive and/or capacitive value mismatch between the resistive or capacitive values of one or multiple stages such that the phase mismatch between the resulting I and Q signals may be reduced without degrading the amplitude mismatch. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for replacing the resistive elements in at least one stage with transistors operating in the triode region, where the on-resistance is controlled by a feedback network.
Nested multi-stage polyphase filter
A nested multi-stage polyphase filter can comprise: a first filter stage and a second filter stage. The first filter stage can be connected to the second filter stage via first through fourth intermediate connections. The first filter stage and the second filter stage can be laid out in a nested-ring layout. The first through fourth intermediate connections can be laid out so as to not cross over each other.
Efficient subband channelizer for randomly-spaced frequency groups
A subband channelizer for randomly spaced frequency groups includes: a first-stage channelizer configured to channelize a wideband input into a plurality of intermediate subbands, at least two of the plurality of intermediate subbands being partially overlapped; and a plurality of second-stage channelizers each configured to generate one or more final subbands from one of the plurality of intermediate subbands, wherein the intermediate subbands have wider bandwidth than the final subbands.
Polyphase Filter Banks with Rational Decimation / Interpolation Factor
An Analysis Polyphase Filter (APPF) for shifting a selected passband of an input signal to a passband signal, having a Q=M.Math.B/A decimation factor, B and A being co-primes, the APPF comprising M.Math.B Paths. Each path includes (i) M.Math.B/A multiplication Sub-paths, and (ii) a Sub-path Fusion Circuit, which is configured to generate fused multiplication products responsively to a sum of the multiplication n products generated by each of the multiplication sub-paths.
