On the design of nearly-PR and PR FIR cosine modulated filter banks having approximate cosine-rolloff transition band

摘要

This paper proposes an efficient method for designing nearly perfect reconstruction (NPR) and perfect reconstruction (PR) cosine modulated filter banks (CMFBs) with prototype filters having an approximate cosine-rolloff (CR) transition band. It is shown that the flatness condition required for an NPR CMFB can be automatically satisfied by using a prototype filter with a CR transition band. The design problem is then formulated as a convex minimax optimization problem, and it can be solved by second-order cone programming (SOCP). By using the NPR CMFB so obtained as an initial guess to nonlinear optimizers such as Fmincon in Matlab, high-quality PR CMFBs can be obtained. The advantages of the proposed method are that it does not require a user-supplied initial guess of the prototype filter and bumps in the passband of the analysis filters can be effectively suppressed. © 2008 IEEE.
