Filter bank

Résumé

In signal processing, a filter bank (or filterbank) is an array of bandpass filters that separates the input signal into multiple components, each one carrying a single frequency sub-band of the original signal. One application of a filter bank is a graphic equalizer, which can attenuate the components differently and recombine them into a modified version of the original signal. The process of decomposition performed by the filter bank is called analysis (meaning analysis of the signal in terms of its components in each sub-band); the output of analysis is referred to as a subband signal with as many subbands as there are filters in the filter bank. The reconstruction process is called synthesis, meaning reconstitution of a complete signal resulting from the filtering process. In digital signal processing, the term filter bank is also commonly applied to a bank of receivers. The difference is that receivers also down-convert the subbands to a low center frequency that can be re-s

This paper deals with multiwavelets and the different properties of approximation and smoothness that are associated with them. In particular, we focus on the important issue of the preservation of discrete time polynomial signals by multiwavelet based filter banks. We give here a precise definition of balancing for higher degree discrete time polynomial signals and link it to a very natural factorization of the lowpass refinement mask that is the counterpart of the well-known 'zeros at pi' condition on the scaling function in the usual wavelet framework. This property of balancing proves then to be central to the issues of the preservation of smooth signals by the filter bank, the approximation power of the multiresolution analysis and the smoothness of the scaling functions and wavelets. Using these new results, we are able to construct a family of orthogonal multiwavelets with symmetries and compact support that is indexed by the order of balancing. We also give the minimum length orthogonal multiwavelets for any balancing order.

Balanced MultiWavelets - Theory and Design

Jérôme Lebrun, Martin Vetterli

This paper deals with multiwavelets which are a recent generalization of wavelets in the context of multirate filter banks and with their applications to signal processing and especially compression. By their inherent structure, multiwavelets are fit for processing multi-channel signals. First, we will recall some general results on multifilters by looking at them as time-varying filters. Then, we will link this to multiwavelets, looking closely at the convergence of the iterated matrix product leading to them and the typical properties we can expect. Then, we will define under what conditions we can apply systems based on multiwavelets to one-dimensional signals in a simple way. That means we will give some natural and simple conditions that should help in the design of new multiwavelets for signal processing. Finally, we will provide some tools in order to construct multiwavelets with the required properties, the so-called `balanced multiwavelets'.
