Abstract
Abstract A filter for filtering analog or digital samples using two sections, each including a multiplier stage having a plurality of multiplier sections, each with a respective output but a common input for applying a plurality of coefficients to a sample input to the multiplier stage, and a delay and summing network comprising a plurality of delay sections and alternate summing networks connected in series, the output of one of the multiplier sections being connected to the first delay sections in the series with each output of the other multiplier sections being connected to a respective summing network, the delay and summing network of one section being interleaved in series with the delay and summing network of the other section, and further comprising means for omitting alternate samples.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A filter for filtering signals in the form of analoque or digital samples, comprising two sections, each of which including a multiplier stage having a plurality of multiplier sections each with a respective output but a common input for applying a plurality of coefficients to a sample input of a selected one of the multiplier stages, and a delay and summing network comprising a plurality of delay sections and alternate summing networks connected in series, the output of one of the multiplier sections being connected to the first delay sections in the series with each output of the other multiplier sections being connected to a respective summing network, and the delay and summing network of one section being interleaved in series with the delay and summing network of the other section, and further comprising switching means for receiving two input signals in parallel and for alternately feeding and omitting samples to each stage from the two input signals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A filter for filtering signals in the form of analoque or digital samples, comprising two sections, each of which including a multiplier stage having a plurality of multiplier sections each with a respective output but a common input for applying a plurality of coefficients to a sample input of a selected one of the multiplier stages, and a delay and summing network comprising a plurality of delay sections and alternate summing networks connected in series, the output of one of the multiplier sections being connected to the first delay sections in the series with each output of the other multiplier sections being connected to a respective summing network, and the delay and summing network of one section being interleaved in series with the delay and summing network of the other section, and further comprising switching means for receiving two input signals in parallel and for alternately feeding and omitting samples to each stage from the two input signals.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
Receiving apparatus for receiving a signal produced by the filter arrangement of claim 1, and comprising means for interpolating from two adjacent samples of the same type a sample equivalent to each omitted sample, and switching means operating at one half of the sample rate for reconstructing from transmitted and interpolated samples the two original input signals.
