Configuring a multiple stage band pass filter of a radio frequency receiver commences by setting a comer of a low pass mixer output filter that receives a down sampled analog information signal. Operation continues with setting a buffer output filter comer of a low pass buffer output filter coupled to an output of low pass mixer output filter via a buffer. Then, operation includes setting the poles and zero of a plurality of band pass filters coupled to the output of the low pass buffer output filter is performed. This operation includes first setting a zero of a respected band pass filter and then setting the plurality of poles of the band pass filter. Finally, operation concludes with setting a combined gain of the combination of the low pass mixer output filter, the low pass buffer output filter, and the plurality of band pass filters.
