Design of IIR linear-phase QMF banks based on complex allpass sections

摘要

A new method for the design of two-channel, perfect reconstruction, analysis/synthesis QMF banks is presented. The filters of the banks are IIR, power complementary, linear phase, and are represented by means of complex allpass functions. Design procedures based both on numerical approximation and on a flatness constraint imposed on the frequency responses of the filters are given.
