ABSTRACT:
An analog-to-digital converter is provided for producing digital signal representative of analog signals. Noise induced upon the digital signals can be substantially removed using a digital decimation filter. The decimation filter includes a front-end portion which receives the digital data at a relatively high sample rate and performs filtering operations with minimal complexity. Preferably, the front-end portion includes at least one stage of filtering and more preferably at least two filter stages, each of which perform interpolation separate from decimation. According to one embodiment, the first stage of the front-end portion involves decimation and the latter stage or stages of that portion involves a combination of interpolation and decimation. The cumulative effect is to reduce the sample rate of the incoming data stream produced by, for example, a quantizer to a value which can be more easily manipulated by the back-end portion of the digital decimation filter. The front-end portion can therefore reduce the data rate change factor K to a smaller, fixed integer data rate change factor K.sub.1, regardless of whether data rate change factor K is an integer number or involves a fractional number.
