The paper deals with the minimax design of two-channel nonuniform-division filter (NDF) banks. Based on a linearisation scheme, the design problem is formulated as an optimisation problem with linear constraints. The authors present a method to design a two-channel NDF bank using a modified dual-affine scaling variant of Karmarkar's algorithm. This method provides the optimal results that the linear-phase FIR analysis and synthesis filters have equiripple stopband response and the resulting NDF bank also shows equiripple reconstruction error behaviour. The effectiveness of the proposed design technique is demonstrated by several simulation examples.
