An efficient design method of cosine-modulated QMF banks satisfying PR property

Abstract

In this paper the design problem of perfect-reconstruction cosine-modulated QMF banks has been formulated as a quadratic-constrained least-squares (QCLS) minimization problem in which all constrained matrices of the QCLS optimization problem are symmetric and positive definite. A cost function which is a convex function of desired prototype filter coefficients is constructed so that this kind of QCLS optimization problems can be efficiently solved. So a global minimizer of this problem can be easily obtained. Results of two design examples are presented to support the derivations and analyses.
