      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Orthogonal Perfect Reconstruction FIR Filterbank

Module by: Phil Schniter

Summary: This module introduces the ideas behind and design issues of Orthogonal Perfect Reconstruction of FIR filterbanks.

Orthogonal PR Filterbanks

The FIR perfect-reconstruction (PR) conditions leave some freedom in the choice of H 0 z H 0 z and H 1 z H 1 z . Orthogonal PR filterbanks are defined by causal real-coefficient even-length-NN analysis filters that satisfy the following two equations:

1= H 0 z H 0 z-1+ H 0 -z H 0 -z-1 1 H 0 z H 0 z H 0 -z H 0 z (1)
H 1 z=±z-N-1 H 0 -z-1 H 1 z ± z N 1 H 0 z (2)
To verify that these design choices satisfy the FIR-PR requirements for H 0 z H 0 z and H 1 z H 1 z , we evaluate detHz H z under the second condition above. This yields
detHz=± H 0 z H 1 z-1- H 0 -z H 1 z=-z-N-1 H 0 z H 0 z-1+ H 0 -z H 0 -z-1=z-N-1 H z ± H 0 z H 1 z H 0 -z H 1 z z N 1 H 0 z H 0 z H 0 -z H 0 z z N 1 (3)
which corresponds to c=-1 c -1 and l=N-1 l N 1 in the FIR-PR determinant condition detHz=cz-l H z c z l . The remaining FIR-PR conditions then imply that the synthesis filters are given by
G 0 z=-2 H 1 z-1=2z-N-1 H 0 z-1 G 0 z -2 H 1 z 2 z N 1 H 0 z (4)
G 1 z=2 H 0 -z=2z-N-1 H 1 z-1 G 1 z 2 H 0 z 2 z N 1 H 1 z (5)
The orthogonal PR design rules imply that H 0 ω H 0 ω is "power symmetric" and that H 0 ω H 1 ω H 0 ω H 1 ω form a "power complementary" pair. To see the power symmetry, we rewrite the first design rule using z=ω z ω and -1=±π -1 ± π , which gives
1= H 0 ω H 0 -ω+ H 0 ω-π H 0 -ω-π=| H 0 ω|2+| H 0 ω-π|2=| H 0 ω|2+| H 0 π-ω|2 1 H 0 ω H 0 ω H 0 ω H 0 ω H 0 ω 2 H 0 ω 2 H 0 ω 2 H 0 ω 2 (6)
The last two steps leveraged the fact that the DTFT of a real-coefficient filter is conjugate-symmetric. The power-symmetry property is illustrated in Figure 1:

Power complementarity follows from the second orthogonal PR design rule, which implies | H 1 ω|=| H 0 π-ω| H 1 ω H 0 ω . Plugging this into the previous equation, we find

1=| H 0 ω|2+| H 1 ω|2 1 H 0 ω 2 H 1 ω 2 (7)
The power-complimentary property is illustrated in Figure 2:
