Abstract

In this paper, a computationally efficient iterative algorithm is presented for the design of multi-channel nearly perfect reconstruction nonuniform filter bank using the modified window functions such as Kaiser, Cosh and Exponential windows with exploiting a new perfect reconstruction condition of nonuniform filter banks instead of using complex objective functions. The cutoff frequency is optimized using linear optimization technique such that the magnitude response of a prototype filter at quadrature frequency is approximately equal to 0.707. The simulation results illustrate significant reduction in amplitude distortion, number of iteration and computation time as compared to earlier existing techniques. The proposed algorithm is simple, easy to implement, and linear in nature. When exploited for subband coding of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, the proposed method yields good fidelity performance measuring parameters.
