ON THE DESIGN OF FIR ANALYSIS-SYNTHESIS FILTER BANKS WITH HIGH COMPUTATIONAL-EFFICIENCY

This paper presents an effective design algorithm for analysis-synthes is filter banks with computationally efficient structures. Although a wide variety of implementation structures can be accommodated, the foc us of this paper is on cosine modulated filter banks. The design proce dure is based on a time domain formulation of analysis-synthesis filte r banks in which each individual channel filter is constrained to be a cosine modulated versions of a baseband filter. The resulting filter banks are very efficient in terms of computational requirements and ar e relatively easy to design. A unique feature of this approach is that relatively low reconstruction delays can be imposed on the system. A discussion of the associated computational properties of the designed systems and some design examples are included.
