A programmable analog processing array for programmable time-discrete processing of analog input signals in accordance with a desired signal processing function comprises a network of mutually interconnectable and pre-configurable analog processing slices that form unit circuit cells of the network. Each processing slice comprises a set of cell circuit elements including: a switchable clock input port for receiving a clock signal, a delay element for receiving a respective analog slice input signal and for forwarding the received slice input signal with a pre-configurable time delay as a respective delayed slice input signal, an analog multiplier element receiving the delayed slice input signal for providing an analog multiplier output signal corresponding to a product of the delayed slice input signal with a pre-configurable multiplication factor, an analog adder element receiving a pre-configurable selection of at least two adder input signals including the multiplier output signal and for providing an analog adder output signal corresponding to a sum of the adder input signals, and including an analog resample element for receiving the adder output signal and for providing the received adder output with a pre-configurable time delay as an analog slice output signal.
