Abstract:
A system includes a weighting module, a mixer module, and a frequency selective impedance (FSI). The weighting module is configured to receive an input signal having an amplitude and to generate weighted outputs. Amplitudes of the weighted outputs have ratios relative to the amplitude of the input signal. The mixer module has switches configured to receive the weighted outputs and to generate a staircase waveform when the switches are clocked by clock signals. Amplitudes of steps of the staircase waveform are based on the ratios. The FSI is configured to communicate with the switches. The switches are configured to translate an impedance of the FSI centered on a first frequency to a second frequency determined by a frequency of the clock signals.
