Design of Low-Complexity IFRM-UMFB Architecture for Wideband Digital Receivers

摘要

Modulated filter bank with low complexity is the key to realize the engineering applications for speech signal processing, multicarrier communication, and wideband digital receivers. The frequency response masking (FRM) technology is an effective method to design finite impulse response filters with narrow transition band (NTB). In this paper, an interpolation FRM unified modulated filter bank (IFRM-UMFB) architecture with NTB is proposed to reduce the computational complexity of the modulated filter bank architecture. The IFRM approach increases the transition band of two masking filters by the interpolation of N and reduces the computational complexity of two masking filters compared with classic FRM approach. The proposed IFRM-UMFB architecture with NTB is suitable for different odd-stacked or even-stacked, maximally decimated or non-maximally decimated structures. The proposed IFRM-UMFB architecture with NTB is verified to be correct through simulation. The complexity comparison result shows that the proposed IFRM-UMFB architecture offers multipliers reduction of 77.4% over the directly design approach and 26.5% over the classic FRM approach. Moreover, the proposed IFRM-UMFB architecture with NTB also can be directly applied to wideband digital receivers with high sampling rate.
