Abstract:
Circuitry and a method for use in a radio frequency receiver for processing a radio frequency signal are provided. The circuitry comprises a mixer arranged to receive the radio frequency signal and down-convert the received radio frequency signal to a lower frequency. The received radio frequency signal has an interference component and the interference component in the down-converted signal is within an interference frequency range. The circuitry also comprises an LC based notch filter arranged to receive the down-converted signal from the mixer, filter the down-converted signal, and output the filtered signal for processing by a baseband processing block. The LC based notch filter has a notch centered within said interference frequency range, such that the LC based notch filter is arranged to attenuate the interference component in the down-converted signal.
