Decimation filter with selectable decimation and decimation filtering method for

Decimation filter having a selectable decimation filtering at least one externally derived stream of quantized electrical signals with a predetermined signal rate, comprising: - a coefficient generator (10) wherein the coefficient generator (10) in response to a set (M) of externally derived selection signals for a decimation separate normalized coefficient signal at a respective output a plurality of outputs (12) provides. - an N-bit counter (20) controlled by a predetermined count clock signal at each of the N counter outputs provide a separate counter output signal, where N is a predetermined integer with the proviso that 2 - a processor coupled to the N-bit counter inverter for receiving each counter output signal, said inverter dependent selectively each received counter output signal is either inverted by an inverter control signal or not, and - a Normalisierschaltung (400) adapted for receiving each output signal from the inverter and externally calculated as a function of the set ...
