Abstract:
Apparatus and methods related to multipath bandpass filters with passband notches are provided herein. In certain configurations, a multipath bandpass filter includes multiple filter circuit branches or paths that are electrically connected in parallel with one another between an input terminal and an output terminal. The input terminal receives an input signal, and each filter circuit branch includes a downconverter that downconverts the input signal to generate a downconverted signal, a filter network that generates a filtered signal by filtering the downconverted signal, and an upconverter that upconverts the filtered signal to generate a branch output signal. The filter network includes at least one low pass filter and at least one notch filter to provide a passband with in-band notches. The branch output signals from the filter circuit branches are combined to generate an output signal at the output terminal.

Claim (Index 3):
The multipath bandpass filter of  claim 1  further comprising a clock generation circuit configured to control the plurality of filter circuit branches with a plurality of clock signal phases of a common clock signal frequency but of different phases, the multipath bandpass filter having a center frequency about equal to the common clock signal frequency.
