Quaternionic Lattice Structures for Four-Channel Paraunitary Filter Banks

Quaternionic Lattice Structures for Four-Channel Paraunitary Filter Banks

A novel approach to the design and implementation of four-channel paraunitary filter banks is presented. It utilizes hypercomplex number theory, which has not yet been employed in these areas. Namely, quaternion multipliers are presented as alternative paraunitary building blocks, which can be regarded as generalizations of Givens (planar) rotations. The corresponding quaternionic lattice struc...

Optimized Paraunitary Filter Banks for Time-Frequency Channel Diagonalization

We adopt the concept of channel diagonalization to time-frequency signal expansions obtained by DFT filter banks. As a generalization of the frequency domain channel representation used by conventional orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing receivers, the time-frequency domain channel diagonalization can be applied to time-variant channels and aperiodic signals. An inherent error in the cas...

Synthesis of 2-Channel IIR Paraunitary Filter Banks by Successive Extraction of 2-Port Lattice Sections

This paper proposes a synthesis method of 2-channel IIR paraunitary filter banks by successive extraction of 2-port lattice sections. When a power symmetry transfer function is given, a filter bank is realized as cascade of paraunitary 2-port lattice sections. The method can synthesize both oddand even-order filters with Butterworth or elliptic characteristics. The number of multiplications per...

On orthonormal wavelets and paraunitary filter banks

Binary tree-structured filter banks have been employed in the past to generate wavelet bases. While the relation between paraunitary filter banks and orthonormal bases is known to some extent, there are some extensions which are either not known, or not published so far. In particular it is known that a binary tree-structured filter bank with the same paraunitary polyphase matrix on all levels ...
