Abstract:
There is provided a communication receiver comprising: an input for receiving a radio frequency, RF, input signal; and at least one finite impulse response, FIR, discrete time filter, DTF. The at least one FIR DTF comprises: an input circuit comprising an input port for sampling the RF input signal at a sampling frequency that is comparable to the input RF input signal; and N parallel branches, each branch having a set of input unit sampling capacitances, where each unit sampling capacitance is independently selectively coupleable to an output summing node. The input circuit is configured to convert an equivalent input impedance of the at least one FIR DTF around the sampling frequency to a real impedance.
