Abstract
The ability to efficiently channelize a received signal with dynamic sub-channel bandwidths is a key requirement of software defined radio (SDR) systems. The digital channelizer, which is used to split the received signal into a number of sub-channels, plays an important role in SDR systems. In this paper, a design of dynamic digital channelizer is presented. The proposed method is novel in that it employs a cosine modulated filter bank (CMFB) to divide the received signal into multiple frequency sub-bands and a spectrum sensing technique, which is mostly used in cognitive radio, is introduced to detect the presence of signal of each sub-band. The method of spectrum sensing is carried out based on the eigenvalues of covariance matrix of received signal. The ratio of maximum-minimum eigenvalue of each sub-band is vulnerable to noise fluctuation. This paper suggests an optimized method to calculate the ratio of maximum-minimum eigenvalue. The simulation results imply that the design of digital channelizer can effectively separate the received signal with dynamically changeable sub-channel signals.

Summary
The concept of software defined radio (SDR) means that the same hardware architecture can be programmed or reconfigured to cope with any radio standard [1]. The digital channelizer is used to deal with the SDR signal composed of a large number of frequency division multiplexed (FDM) channels. It is employed to extract individual sub-channels from a digitized wideband input signal [2]. By extracting multiple narrowband sub-channels from the wideband input signal, it can efficiently reduce the sampling rate and bring convenience for the further base-band processing. The received signal of SDR system usually appears with several sub-channel signals with dynamically changeable bandwidths and band locations [3]. It leads to the requirement of dynamic digital channelizer
