Two-Channel Quincunx QMF Banks Using Two-Dimensional Digital Allpass Filters
Ju-Hong Lee, Yuan‐Hau Yang · IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I Regular Papers · 2009
This paper presents a novel structure for the analysis and synthesis filters of two-channel quincunx quadrature mirror filter (QQMF) banks. This structure uses an appropriate combination of 2-D recursive digital allpass filters (DAFs) with symmetric half-plane (SHP) support regions. The proposed analysis/synthesis filters possess a 2-D doubly complementary half-band (DC-HB) property that facilitates the design and implementation of the proposed two-channel QQMF banks. Moreover, the proposed structure provides approximately linear-phase response without magnitude distortion. The design problem of the proposed QQMF banks is appropriately formulated to result in a linear optimization problem that only minimizes the linear-phase error associated with the 2-D SHP DAFs in thepth-norm (Lp) sense. Efficient design techniques are developed to solve theLpoptimization problem for finding the coefficients of the 2-D recursive SHP DAFs. Finally, we provide simulation results for illustration and comparison.
