An image rejection quadratic filter is tunable to filter image frequencies over a wide band. In one embodiment, the image rejection filter includes in-phase and quadrature phase mixers. The image rejection has a fractional transfer function. The image rejection filter has two sub-circuits, wherein the first sub-circuit produces the imaginary component of the transfer function, and the second sub-circuit produces the real component of the transfer function. The first sub-circuit receives the Q signal, and the second sub-circuit receives the I signal. In one embodiment, to create the fractional transfer function, a multi-feedback looped integrator is used.
