摘要:
A signal filter employs digital control signals to selectively establish and adjust analog impedance components of the filter. In the case of a first-order R-C filter, adjustable resistance and reactance assemblies are coupled in series. The resistance assembly has multiple parallel signal paths sharing a common input and output. Each signal path includes a prescribed electrical resistance and a digital switch to selectively enable and disable the resistance. Between the common input and output, the signal paths provide a collective resistance which varies depending upon which switches have been activated. The reactance assembly is similar to the resistance assembly, with capacitors or inductors instead of resistors. A digital controller selectively activates the switches to adjust the assemblies' respective resistance and reactance.
