The theory and design of arbitrary-length cosine-modulated filter banks and wavelets, satisfying perfect reconstruction

It is well known that FIR filter banks that satisfy the perfect-reconstruction (PR) property can be obtained by cosine modulation of a linear-phase prototype filter of length N=2mM, where M is the number of channels. In this paper, we present a PR cosine-modulated filter bank where the length of the prototype filter is arbitrary. The design is formulated as a quadratic-constrained least-squares optimization problem, where the optimized parameters are the prototype filter coefficients. Additional regularity conditions are imposed on the filter bank to obtain the cosine-modulated orthonormal bases of compactly supported wavelets. Design examples are given.
