Abstract
An apparatus for performing digital signal frequency translation in a digital receiver is disclosed. The apparatus uses a plurality of mixer-filter-decimator stages for performing the digital signal frequency translation. The translation function converts the digital signal to an intermediate frequency (IF), where such translation is distributed among the plurality of mixer-filter-decimator stages to thereby simplify the mixing requirements.
