ABSTRACT:
A digital resampling system is provided for converting a first digital signal to a second digital signal, where both signals represent the same analog signal but sampled at two different clock rates which are not phase-locked together. A filter is clocked by the first clock and outputs filtered samples at the first clock rate, optionally omitting samples which will not be used. A phase indicator determines the relative phase position of the first and second clocks and indicates an integer phase value and a fractional phase value which together indicate where a tick of the second clock falls among the ticks of the first clock. The integer phase value identifies a clock cycle of the first clock in which a tick of the second clock occurs, and the fractional phase value represents a fraction identifying a position of the tick of the second clock within the clock cycle of the first clock. A sample selector selects M filtered samples from those provided by the non-decimating filter based on the integer phase value. A weight generator generates M weights based on the fractional phase value, and a weight averager weights the M filtered samples by the M weights, and outputs a sum or an average of the weighted samples. The resampler is applicable to digital-to-digital resampling, as well as resampling in an analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion system.
