M-ARY WAVELET TRANSFORM AND FORMULATION FOR PERFECT RECONSTRUCTION IN M-BAND FILTER BANK

Abstract

The binary wavelet transform is generalized and extended to the M-ary biorthonormal case. The computational equivalence between the discrete wavelet analysis and the M-band multirate signal filtering is indicated. The equivalence allows the perfect reconstruction requirement in a filter bank to be investigated from the vector space decomposition/reconstruction in wavelet analysis. From the construction of the biorthonormal wavelet bases, the necessary and sufficient condition for the filters in a perfect reconstruction filter bank is formulated. Under this formulation, an additional optimization procedure is then used to model the frequency domain requirement in filter bank design.
