Patent ID: 7729682

Claim:
A receiver for receiving an input signal, the receiver comprising: a mixing module, operably coupled to the input signal, for mixing the input signal by at least one mixing sequence to produce a mixed signal, the at least one mixing sequence having a mixing period, wherein the mixing module includes a plurality of switched sample modules for generating corresponding plurality of samples of the input signal in response to a control signal, wherein the mixing module further includes a control module, operably coupled to a sampling clock, for generating the mixing sequence and for generating the control signal based on the mixing sequence, the control signal including a sequence of sample positions and a sequence of scale factors; a first filter, operably coupled to the mixed signal, for filtering the mixed signal to produce a first filtered signal; a first downsampler, operably coupled to the first filtered signal, for decimating the first filtered signal to produce a first decimated signal, the first decimated signal having a decimation period; a second filter, operably coupled to the first decimated signal, for filtering the first decimated signal to produce a second filtered signal; and an ADC converter module, operably coupled to the second filtered signal, for converting the second filtered signal to produce a digital signal; wherein the decimation period is not a multiple of the mixing period.
