Time-varying filter banks with variable system delay
Gerald Schuller · 2002
A new filter structure and design method for time-varying cosine modulated FIR filter banks with critical sampling, perfect reconstruction, and an efficient implementation is presented. The proposed filter banks have an arbitrary system delay which can be chosen in the design process and is independent of the arbitrary filter length, hence making a low system delay possible. The time variation includes changing the number of bands and/or filters during signal processing while maintaining critical sampling and perfect reconstruction. The transition windows can be overlapping, which improves the frequency responses. It is based on a factorization of the polyphase matrices into a cascade of 2 types of simple matrices.
