ABSTRACT:
A signal processing apparatus preferably suitable for implementation as an integrated circuit, that is arranged and constructed to be shared for processing a plurality of signals without interference between the signals and method thereof, the signal processing apparatus comprising: an input multiplexer for sequentially selecting from among the plurality of signals to provide a sequence of selected signals; a processing unit for processing the sequence of selected signals to provide a sequence of processed signals, the processing unit having an input coupled to the input multiplexer and a delay stage including a plurality of series coupled delay elements with one delay element corresponding to each of the plurality of signals; and an output de-multiplexer for sequentially selecting from the sequence of processed signals to provide a plurality of processed signals corresponding one to one with the plurality of signals.
