FIR filters for compensating for fixed pattern jitter, and methods of constructing the same, are disclosed. In one embodiment, a FIR filter filters a signal having a desired frequency component, with the coefficients of the FIR filter selected so that the filter is the equivalent of two combined FIR filters, one having the desired frequency at the filter's peak output frequency, and a second in which the signal is delayed by a time equal to half of a period of a different frequency which is desired to be removed from the output signal. In another embodiment, a FIR filter includes a delay line with a total delay longer than the period of the jitter. A signal is passed down the delay line, the number of signal edges that have occurred as the signal passes each delay element in the counted. Drivers corresponding to the delay elements in which a number of signal edges occur at the desired frequency during the period of fixed pattern jitter activate impedance elements attached to those delay elements. A processor configures the activated impedance elements to provide the desired filter response.
