A system and method in an audio signal electrical circuit including a feedback loop with a digital filter coupled to a current digital to analog converter (IDAC) includes providing an output signal from the IDAC to analog elements of the audio signal electrical circuit, the output signal from the IDAC based upon a reference signal input to the IDAC when an output of the digital filter is not input to the IDAC. The system and method also include comparing an output signal of the audio signal electrical circuit to a reference, and calibrating the audio signal electrical circuit to correspond the output signal of the audio signal electrical circuit to the reference. Calibration of the audio signal electrical circuit enables more precise control of a cut-off frequency of a microphone signal when the output of the digital filter is input to the IDAC.

High-data rate channel interface modules and equalization methods employing a finite impulse response (FIR) analog receive filter. Embodiments include an illustrative channel interface module having multiple amplifier-based delay units arranged in a sequential chain to convert an analog input signal into a set of increasingly-delayed analog signals that are weighted and combined together with the analog input signal to form an equalized signal; and a symbol decision element operating on the equalized signal to obtain a sequence of symbol decisions. An interface that extracts received data from the sequence of symbol decisions. The delay units may employ one or more delay cells each having a common-source amplifier stage followed by a source follower output stage, the two stages providing approximately equal portions of the propagation delay. An enhanced gate-to-drain capacitance in the common-source amplifier may increase propagation delay while reducing bandwidth limitations.

Methods and systems for a configurable low-noise amplifier with programmable band-selection filters may comprise a receiver with a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with differential output terminals; a low pass filter operably coupled to the LNA; a high pass filter operably coupled to the second input terminal of the LNA; and a signal source input coupled to the low pass filter and the high pass filter. The LNA may be operable to receive signals in a pass band of the high pass filter and a pass band of the low pass filter. The receiver may be operable to amplify input signals in the pass band of a first filter but not signals in the pass band of the second filter by operably coupling the second to ground.

A musical instrument amplifier circuit that can produce an output signal having a level of distortion that depends on the input signal. The amplifier circuit includes an amplifier arranged to receive the input signal and a filter following the amplifier that produces the output signal, wherein the output signal is fed back into the input signal so that the bandwidth of the amplifier circuit is modulated by the input signal. For example, the bandwidth of the amplifier circuit is wider at lower amplifier gains or input signal levels than at higher amplifier gains or input signal levels.

An adaptive intermediate frequency bandwidth control system detects IF signal levels both before and after channel filtering. The two levels are compared to provide a measure of the presence of interfering adjacent channels. This measure is compared to a programmable threshold and the IF bandwidth is narrowed if any interferers are detected. Digital FIR or IIR filtering is used. The invention allows bandwidth switching to be done very quickly with minimal transient effects. A difference threshold is selected depending upon the IF channel bandwidth being used at any given time.

A method and apparatus for linearly adjusting the bandwidth of a high-order bandpass filter. A high-order bandpass filter is formed by cascading together two or more low-order bandpass filters. The bandwidths and center frequencies of each individual low-order bandpass filter is adjusted. The center frequency of some low-order bandpass filters are adjusted so as to achieve linear adjustment of the bandwidth of the high-order bandpass filter.

A pre-emphasis network used in a television signal jamming encoder has a variable gain tuned amplifier first stage and an attenuable notch filter and variable gain broadband amplifier second stage. The notch filter is tuned to a center frequency above the television signal intermediate frequency's visual carrier frequency resulting in 15 dB of increased pre-emphasis and a time delay which compensates for a time delay imparted by a decoding network upon decoding of a signal jammed by this encoder.
