Abstract

A digital signal processing circuit comprises a band selector (14) for selecting at least one sub-band from a frequency spectrum of a digital sampled input signal. The band selector (14) comprises a plurality of processing branches corresponding to respective phases and an adder (28a, 28b) for adding branch signals from the branches. Each branch comprises a sub-sampler (20a,b) for sub-sampling sample values of the input signal at the phase corresponding to the branch, a filter (24a,b) with a first FIR filter (32, 34), applied alternatingly to sets of even and to sets of odd samples from the subsampler (20a,b) and a second FIR filter (36, 38) applied to further sets of odd and even samples from the subsampler (20a,b) when the first FIR filter is applied to the even and odd sets respectively. Output samples from the first and second FIR filter (24a,b) are combined to form the branch signals of the branch, according to a changing combination pattern that changes cyclically as a function of sample position and depends on a phase for which the branch is used.
