Abstract
Digital filtering and sample rate conversion blocks are combined in order to reduce hardware and/or computational complexity. Input data samples provided at a first sample rate are converted to output data samples at a second sample rate unequal to the first sample rate. An Infinite Impulse Response filter having internal states are updated at the first sample rate filters the input data samples in, to produce filtered data samples at the first sample rate. Output data samples are output at the second sample rate, where each output data sample is created as the sum of at least two intermediate products, a first intermediate product and a second intermediate product. The first intermediate product is defined by a first function of the internal states multiplied by a first function of the time difference between output samples and internal state updates, and the second intermediate product is defined by a second function of the internal states multiplied by a second function of the time difference between output samples and internal state updates.
