Abstract

An active polyphase filter arrangement in which asymmetric poles and zeros are obtained using feedback. In implementing the active polyphase filter arrangement there is provided a feedforward path comprising a first polyphase filter and a feedback path comprising a second polyphase filter. Both filters are preferably two phase filters. In operating the polyphase filter arrangement the loop gain at the unwanted "image" frequency can either be made much greater than unity thereby making the feed forward path insensitive to mismatching or be made much less than unity thereby making the feedback path insensitive to mismatching.
