A new algorithm for time-frequency spread coders using multirate filters
K.P. Chan, L. Chen, T.Q. Nguyen · 2003
Filter banks have been shown to be efficient in several emerging signal communication applications. A new class of time-frequency spread coders for transmultiplexer systems using multirate filter banks is presented. As compared with conventional filter banks designed with stopband attenuation and passband flatness criteria, the user coders with the new algorithms are designed with time and frequency spread criteria. In new the algorithms, the filters are achieved through a cascade of lattice structures and delay chains. Along with the time-frequency property and the reconstruction property, the intercode/intracode correlation property are included in the design algorithms to be optimized. The designed coders are used in the application of digital watermarking of images and demonstrate good performance in JPEG encoding at different qualities.
