Zusammenfassung:A circuit 10 for filtering signals which outputs a plurality of signals at a plurality of frequencies, each of the signals being attenuated by an amount determined by the frequency of the signal. The circuit attenuates signals output at a first frequency by an amount which is low relative to the attenuation of signals output at frequencies other than the first frequency. The circuit further attenuates signals output at a second frequency by an amount which is high relative to the attenuation of signals output at frequencies other than the second frequency. Responsive to a change in the control signal 27, the circuit changes the first and second frequencies while maintaining a fixed ratio between the first and second frequencies. The circuit may comprise a parallel resonant circuit 20 in series with a series resonant circuit 22 and may share the same variable capacitor 26. The second frequency may be a harmonic of the first frequency and the fixed ratio may be two or three. The filter circuit may be used in a direct conversion receiving or transmitting chain.
