Abstract
A signal converter for converting a start signal into an end signal includes means for copying the start signal to obtain a plurality of copied start signals, wherein a copied start signal may be fed into a processing branch as a branch signal. Further, the signal converter includes a first branch processing means in a first processing branch for processing a first branch signal according to a first processing regulation to obtain a first processed branch signal. Further, the signal converter includes a second branch processing means in a second processing branch for processing a second branch signal according to a second processing regulation to obtain a second processed branch signal, wherein the second processing regulation is different from the first processing regulation and wherein the first processing regulation and the second processing regulation are implemented to cause a low-pass polyphase filtering of the copied start signals. Finally, the signal converter includes selection means for sequentially selecting the first processed branch signal and then the second processed branch signal in order to obtain the end signal.
