Enhanced Bucket Brigade Delay (BBD) circuits which more readily support cascaded configurations. A gain control mechanism is utilized in combination with an attenuation coupling network between subsequent BBD stages to achieve significantly longer delays than are achievable by the single BBD device, without introducing excessive noise or increased power dissipation associated with the need of reconstructing and biasing the intermediate signal between BBD devices.

An apparatus, including: a switched capacitor filter; and an analog-to-digital converter including an input coupled to the switched capacitor filter. A method, includes: operating a switched capacitor filter to filter an input analog signal to generate an output analog signal; and converting the output analog signal into a digital signal.

Analog FIR filter. An FIR filter (15) includes an input terminal for receiving an input signal, a first filter circuit including: a first transconductance device (30a) configured to generate a first current signal (i1) proportional to the input signal; a first analog switch (41a) commutated in n by a first digital gate signal (φ1) and configured to block the current signal when the first digital gate signal has a first value and to transmit the current signal to a first integrating capacitor (45a) when the first digital gate signal has a second value; characterized in that the first digital gate signal (φ1) includes a periodic series of pulses, wherein the pulses have a width proportional to the filter coefficients.

A filtering device including a transmission line between an input and an output and a resonator, wherein a first microstrip track, a first micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) component, and a second microstrip track are connected in series between the transmission line and a ground point, and a second MEMS component is connected in parallel with the second microstrip track, the first and second MEMS components being switchable and being controlled by a circuit controlling the open or closed state of each of the first and second MEMS components, allowing the filtering device to be placed either in an all-pass operating mode or in a band-stop operating mode about a characteristic frequency of the resonator.
