Abstract
A filter for filtering n data trains by time division multiplexing includes data channels for receiving data train values, registers subdivided into n groups for buffer storage of the data train values or derived values, and adders each having inputs. Each of the n groups is connected to one of the data channels. The adders and the registers alternatively connect to form a chain. The first input of respective adders connected upstream of a respective register of an i group (0≦i≦n−1) has a connection to respective data channels assigned to the i group, and the second input is connected to a respective register of a group having a number (i−1)mod n without an intervening register of another group. The filter is used to parallelly decimate data trains by a common factor. A filter configuration includes the filter and two multipliers. A method is also provided.
