Poly-phase filters are used to offer an efficient and low complexity solution to rate conversion. However, they suffer from inflexibility and are not easily reconfigured. A novel design for rate converters employ poly-phase filters but utilize interpolation between filter coefficients to add flexibility to rate conversion. This interpolation can be implemented as an interpolation of the poly-phase filter results. Additional approximations can be made to further reduce the amount of calculations required to implement a flexible rate converter.

A system and method for recovery of phase information from recorded intensity values is disclosed. In one aspect, a phase filter is placed in a plane, which may be the back focal plane (BFP) of a lens used for observing an object. The phase filter changes the phase of a wave front distribution in the BFP in a known manner. Amplitude stops or combinations of phase and amplitude filtering patterns can also be used to capture N different sets of intensity data in a conjugate diffraction plane. The N intensity images are used to obtain an estimate of the wave front at the first plane. This wave front estimate is then used to generate N modified estimates of the wave front at the conjugate plane, each modified estimate corresponding to one of N filtering patterns. In one implementation, the N modified IP estimates are corrected by replacing the estimated amplitudes with the actually measured ones for that image. The process is repeated iteratively until an error measure between the measured values and the synthetically generated ones falls below a known threshold. The resulting phase estimates can be used to display wave front information similar in appearance to holograms, or to create lens-free microscopes.
