<p>In a variable-gain digital filter of the prior art in which X is the number of bits of data after baseband processing and Y is the number of gain bits, the number of bits of input is X + Y and the number of flip-flops required is equivalent for (X + Y) x n bits, thereby raising the problem of excessive circuit scale. In the variable-gain digital filter of the present invention, a selector and multiplier for regulating gain are arranged inside the digital filter whereby the number of bits of filter input is X, the number of flip-flops inside the filter is X x n bits, and a (Y x n bit) reduction in the number of flip-flops is enabled. The gain regulation circuit that was arranged to precede the prior-art filter is thus incorporated within the digital filter to enable a reduction in circuit scale. <IMAGE></p> |
