As the semiconductor technology line widths grow smaller and smaller, many functions that were implemented with analog techniques have to be designed using digital techniques.
Filtering is one such idea. Digital filters are a natural for fine line technology once the signal has been converted to digital. One of the more popular techniques is FIR filtering.
These filters have some favorable characteristics that make them popular for implementation in SOC technology. A recent book released by Signal Processing Group Inc ( authored by Ain Rehman) describes these types of filters in a succinct and practical manner.
This should allow a practicing engineer ( or a student) to implement FIR filters fairly easily. Click on the image below to get your copy. It is not free to purchase but costs a modest amount and gives much in exchange. Also please visit the Signal Processing Group Inc. website for more info.

A high frequency divider from 500 Mhz to % Ghz+
The input interface.
The frequency divider has a differential analog interface. The following parameters apply:
The minimum frequency that can be input is 500 Mhz and the maximum frequency is 6.0 Ghz.
The RF input level is 5 dBm to – 5 dBm. For lower frequencies make sure that the slew rate is
greater than 560 V/us. The input is biased by two 500 Ohm resistors connected to a 1.6V DC bias.
Therefore AC coupling is used at the input. These are two 100pF capacitors. The output interface.
The output is single ended. The output driver is capable of sourcing and sinking 24 mA. The
equivalent output impedance is 50 Ohm. To avoid reflections it is recommended that the divider
work into a 50 Ohm load. General operation.
The inputs are applied to the input SMA I/O. The product will work with both a differential input as
well as a single ended input. However, a differential input works best. The division ratio is applied
to the N1 and N2 control inputs as follows:
N2 N1 Division ratio
0 0 8
0 1 16
1 0 32
1 1 64
The logic levels are:
Logic level Voltage
1 1.4V minimum
0 0.6V maximum
The supply voltage interface.
The operating supply voltage is 3.3V typical. The quiescent (DC) operating supply current is 2 mA.
