  • Patent number: 7804429
    Abstract: A method of resampling a digital signal involves serially receiving a plurality of samples of said digital signal and applying a plurality of filter coefficients to a first subset of the plurality of samples to generate a first plurality of intermediate results and to a second subset of the samples to generate a second plurality of intermediate results. The first plurality of intermediate results is accumulated to generate a first resampled value, and the second plurality of intermediate results is accumulated to generate a second resampled value. Upon receipt, each signal sample may be used to update each of a plurality of running accumulation values and then discarded before receipt of a next signal sample. Furthermore, multiple signals may be resampled concurrently using a single filter path by multiplexing circuit components, such as memory blocks.
