Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a combined mixer filter circuit. The circuit includes a sampler, a plurality of filter branches, and a coefficient generator. The sampler is configured to provide a sampled signal by sampling a received signal at a specified rate. The plurality of filter branches has selectable filter coefficients. The plurality of filter branches are configured to receive the sampled signal and generate a mixed and filtered output signal without a separate mixer component. The coefficient generator is coupled to the plurality of filter branches. The coefficient generator is configured to assign filter coefficient values to the selectable filter coefficients to yield a selected mixing function for the mixed filtered output signal.
