  • Patent number: 11689393
    Abstract: Examples provide a method and apparatus for an analog bi-quad infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. An amplifier generates a positive output signal corresponding to a received RF signal and a negative output signal. A set of selectively switchable time-delay circuits associated with a positive arm of the filter causes a predetermined delay corresponding to a desired sample frequency. A first set of configurable variable gain amplifiers amplify the positive output signal to establish a set of positive coefficients. A set of selectively switchable time-delay circuits associated with a negative arm of the filter causes a predetermined delay. A delayed negative output signal is generated which is amplified by a second set of configurable variable gain amplifiers to establish a set of negative coefficients. A set of power combiners function as sum junctions to combine the delayed positive output signals and the delayed negative output signals into a single output signal.
