Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a programmable filter may implement an infinite impulse response filter so that a transceiver in which the filter is utilized may be programmable to operate in one or more modes in accordance with one or more communication standards. The programmable infinite impulse response filter may replace one or more analog filters of the transceiver so that a desired filter response may be programmed by a baseband processor. Delay functions of an infinite impulse response filter may be implemented using feedback and multiplexing.
