Abstract

Various embodiments of the present invention provide tunable filter circuits and methods for using such. As an example, a tunable biquad filter is disclosed that includes a tunable biquad circuit, a mixer circuit and a low pass filter. The tunable biquad circuit exhibits a cutoff frequency corresponding to an adjustment value, and is operable to receive an filter input and to provide a filter output. The mixer circuit is operable to provide a product of the filter input and the filter output. The product includes a time dependent component and a static component. The low pass filter is operable to receive the product and to provide the static component.
