Abstract

A plurality of sampled signals that differ in phase by 2.pi./N (where N is an integer greater than 1) from one another are mixed by sequentially supplying the sampled signals to a holding circuit, the holding circuit output is buffered in a buffer amplifier to produce the system output having a beneficial high-frequency characteristic. Deterioration of the frequency characteristic of the synthesized output signal for a high frequency range due to a low-pass filter effect stemming from the zero hold in the sample/hold circuit is prevented by the mixing circuit.
