Multiplierless perfect reconstruction modulated filter banks with sum-of-powers-of-two coefficients

This paper proposes an efficient class of perfect reconstruction (PR) modulated filter banks (MFB) using sum-of-powers-of-two (SOPOT) coefficients, This is based on a modified factorization of the DCT-IV matrix and the lossless lattice structure of the prototype filter, which allows the coefficients to be represented in SOPOT form without affecting the PR condition. A genetic algorithm (GA) is then used to search for these SOPOT coefficients, Design examples show that SOPOT MFB with a good frequency characteristic can be designed with very low implementation complexity. The usefulness of the approach is demonstrated with a 16-channel design example.
