The complex decimation operation is illustrated with an example in Figure 7-19. First, the input signal (and the negative image) are frequency shifted by the NCO frequency as shown on the left side of the image. Next, a digital filter is applied (centered around 0 Hz) and the output data rate is decimated by 8 complex, In this example, the output data rate FS,OUT = FS/8 with a Nyquist zone of FS/16. During the complex mixing, the spectrum (signal and noise) is split into real and complex parts, so the amplitude is reduced by 6dB. To compensate this loss, there is a 6dB digital gain option in the decimation filter block that can be enabled via SPI write.
The real decimation operation is shown in Figure 7-20. There is no frequency shift happening, and only the real portion of the complex digital filter is exercised. The output data rate is decimated . A decimation of 8 results in an output data rate FS,OUT = FS/8 with a Nyquist zone of FS/16.
During the real mixing, the spectrum (signal and noise) amplitude is reduced by 3dB. To compensate this loss, there is a 3dB digital gain option in the decimation filter block that can be enabled via SPI write.
