Abstract
A rational decimation circuit (200) has an integration filter (210) and an FIR-filter (220). The integration filter (210) has N serially arranged integrator blocks (230-n) and an interpolator block (250). The FIR-filter (220) has K filter channels (260-k) and a commutator (290) which are controlled by a control block (300). Each channel (260-k) has a multiplier unit (270-k) and an accumulator unit (280-k). The integration filter (210) has a transfer function with N-fold poles and the FIR-filter (220) has a transfer function with zeros which cancel the poles. FIR-coefficients h.sub.k (T.sub.V) in the FIR-filter (220) are related to the F.sub.V /F.sub.X ratio of the interpolator block (250) and to the number N of integrator blocks (230-n). A method is also described.
