Patent number: 8385874Abstract: Provided are a direct sampling circuit and a receiver using a discrete time analog process and having a filter effect of a steep attenuation characteristic in a narrow-pass band without lowering a sampling rate. In a discrete time direct sampling circuit (13), the positive phase side and the inverse phase side are both sampled by a local signal for a differential current output of a differential voltage/current conversion unit (1011) and electric charge is accumulated in a charge sampling capacitor. The latest accumulated charge at the positive phase side and charge accumulated at the inverse phase side before a predetermined number of samples are combined with the charge accumulated in a history capacitor (1043) in the past. Thus, it is possible to realize equivalently high-degree FIR filter characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2008Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Katsuaki Abe, Yoshifumi Hosokawa, Yasuyuki Naito, Kentaro Miyano, Noriaki Saito
