Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to reconstruction filtering. In particular, embodiments enable highly linear, highly programmable, and easily reconfigurable reconstruction filters. Further, embodiments provide substantial power consumption, area, and cost savings compared to conventional solutions. For example, embodiments use all-passive filtering and substantially reduce active elements compared to conventional solutions. As a result, significant reductions in required area, noise, and power consumption can be achieved. In addition, embodiments perform filtering solely in the current domain, thereby eliminating the non-linear voltage-to-current conversion used in conventional circuits and enabling highly linear filtering. Furthermore, embodiments are highly programmable and easily reconfigurable without the use of tunable capacitors. As such, embodiments are very suitable solutions for multi-band multi-mode wireless transmitters.
