Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter responsive to an analog signal converts the analog signal to a digital signal. A digital decimation filter, having an associated frequency response, is responsive to the digital signal for producing a decimated digital signal. An alias correction filter attenuates the decimated digital signal to remove distortion. A digital interpolation filter, having an associated frequency response, is responsive to the alias-corrected signal for producing an interpolated digital signal which subsequently is converted to an analog signal by a digital-to-analog converter. The alias correction filter has a frequency response that attenuates the decimated digital signal in a frequency range generally corresponding to a distortion portion that is present within the combination of the digital decimation filter frequency response and the digital interpolation filter frequency response.
