Abstract
Abstract A sampled digital filter system for filtering a signal that has a frequency lower than an unwanted signal component in the input signal. The digital filter system samples the input signal in bursts at a rate satisfying the Nyquist criterion for the unwanted signal component.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A sampled digital filter system for processing an input signal including an unwanted signal component, said system comprising: sampling means having first and second sampling intervals, for receiving the input signal, for sampling the input signal with said second sampling interval for a limited time within said first sampling interval and for providing samples of the input signal as input samples; and digital filter means for digital filtering the input samples so as to provide a filtered output corresponding to the input signal with the unwanted signal component filtered out.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A sampled digital filter system for processing an input signal including an unwanted signal component, said system comprising: sampling means having first and second sampling intervals, for receiving the input signal, for sampling the input signal with said second sampling interval for a limited time within said first sampling interval and for providing samples of the input signal as input samples; and digital filter means for digital filtering the input samples so as to provide a filtered output corresponding to the input signal with the unwanted signal component filtered out.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A sampled digital filter system according to claim 1, wherein said second sampling interval satisfies the Nyquist criterion for the unwanted signal component.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A sampled digital filter system according to claim 33, wherein the first sampling interval satisfies the Nyquist criterion for the input signal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A sampled digital filter system according to claim 1, wherein said digital filter means comprises means for filtering, within said first sampling interval, samples of the input signal sampled with said second sampling interval.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
89 words
A sampled digital filter system for processing an input signal including an unwanted signal component, said system comprising: sampling means for producing a burst of samples of the input signal at least once during a first period, the samples within the burst being spaced by a second period that is shorter than the first period; and digital filter means for digital filtering said burst of samples within the first period so as to provide a filtered output corresponding to the input signal with the unwanted signal component filtered out.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
89 words
A sampled digital filter system for processing an input signal including an unwanted signal component, said system comprising: sampling means for producing a burst of samples of the input signal at least once during a first period, the samples within the burst being spaced by a second period that is shorter than the first period; and digital filter means for digital filtering said burst of samples within the first period so as to provide a filtered output corresponding to the input signal with the unwanted signal component filtered out.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
A sampled digital filter system according to claim 6, wherein said sampling means comprises: means for providing said burst of samples so that the samples within the burst satisfy the Nyquist criterion for the unwanted signal component.
