Embodiment Construction

[0072] It should be understood that the present teachings apply to a range of implementations that incorporate digital filterbanks other than those explicitly mentioned in this patent. In particular, the present teachings can be applied to other methods for designing filter banks based on prototype filters.

[0073] The overall transfer function of the analysis / synthesis filterbank is determined below. In other words, describe the mathematical representation of a signal passing through such a filter bank system. The digital filter bank is a collection of the following M (M is two or more) parallel digital filters, and these digital filters share a common input or common output. For details on these filter banks, see "Multirate Systems and Filter Banks" (P.P. Vaidyanathan Prentice Hall: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1993). When sharing a common input, filter banks can be called analysis banks. The analysis group splits the incoming signal into M individual signals called sub-band si...

Abstract

The document relates to modulated sub-sampled digital filter banks, as well as to methods and systems for the design of such filter banks. In particular, the present document proposes a method and apparatus for the improvement of low delay modulated digital filter banks. The method employs modulation of an asymmetric low-pass prototype filter and a new method for optimizing the coefficients of this filter. Further, a specific design for a (64) channel filter bank using a prototype filter length of (640) coefficients and a system delay of (319) samples is given. The method substantially reduces artifacts due to aliasing emerging from independent modifications of subband signals, for example when using a filter bank as a spectral equalizer. The method is preferably implemented in software, running on a standard PC or a digital signal processor (DSP), but can also be hardcoded on a custom chip. The method offers improvements for various types of digital equalizers, adaptive filters, multiband companders and spectral envelope adjusting filterbanks used in high frequency reconstruction (HFR) or parametric stereo systems.

Description

technical field [0001] This document relates to modulated subsampling digital filter banks and methods and systems for designing such filter banks. Specifically, it provides a new design method and apparatus for near-ideally constructed low-delay cosine- or complex-exponential modulated filterbanks optimized to suppress the occurrence of aliasing. Also given is a specific design for a 64-channel filter bank using a prototype filter length of 640 coefficients and a system delay of 319 samples. Background technique [0002] The teachings herein can be applied as, for example, in "An Efficient 20 Band Digital Audio Equalizer" by A.J.S. Ferreira, J.M.N. Viera (AES Preprint, 98 th Digital filters as outlined in Convention 1995 February 25-28 Paris, N.Y., USA); as e.g. in A. Gilloire, M. Vetterli, "Adaptive Filtering in Subbands with Critical Sampling: Analysis, Experiments, and Application to Acoustic Echo Cancellation" (IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, vol.40, no.8, A...
