The architecture design of the proposed IF digital frequency down converter (DFDC) is tlie combination of 4-IF oversampling and multistage interpolated finite impulse response filter design techniques based on multirate algoritlun.It can have very low-power dissipation owing to its reduction in hardware complexity and operational frequency. Design application for IS-95 CDMA with IF frequency at 4.9152 h4Hz shows that the DFDC only consumes 0.6mw when operates at 2 V.
