Patent ID: 7733990

Claim:
A receive path in a receiver, comprising: means for deriving a first stream of first digitized samples from a received analog signal at a first sampling rate, at least one interpolating filter in parallel with the first stream of first digitized samples for generating at least a second stream of digitized samples at the first sampling rate but offset with respect to the first stream by a fraction of a sample time period, wherein the means for deriving the first stream of first digitized samples from the received analog signal at the first sampling rate comprises: means for generating a third stream of digitized samples from the received analog signal at a second sampling rate; and a further interpolating filter receiving the third stream from the means for generating the third stream, to generate the first stream of first digitized samples which are estimates of samples obtainable by sampling the received analog signal at the first sample rate lower than the second sampling rate, the first digitized samples being output at the first sampling rate and including at least one unusable sample.
