In this paper, a block FIR(Finite Impulse Response) filtering architecture is proposed for IF digital down converter. Digital down converter consists of digital mixers. decimation filters and down samplers. In this proposed structure, it is shown that a efficient parallel decimation filter architecture can be produced by cancellation of inherent up sampling of the block filter and following down sampler Furthermore. it is shown that computational complexity of the proposed architecture is reduced by exploiting the block FIR structure and zero values of the digital mixers
