Modified DFT filter banks with perfect reconstruction

In this paper, essential features of the recently introduced modified discrete Fourier transform DFT (MDFT) filter bank are presented. First, it is shown that all analysis and synthesis filters-obtained by appropriate complex modulation of a low-pass prototype filter-are linear phase. This is important for subband image coding applications. Another important property is the structure-inherent alias cancellation: all odd alias spectra are automatically compensated in the synthesis filter bank. Further, the MDFT filter bank provides perfect reconstruction for the same prototypes as for cosine-modulated filter banks. Thus, the same design methods can be used. Finally, different mappings of the input signal into the subbands are discussed and a comparison to the well-known cosine-modulated filter banks is given.
