Joint use of time-domain and windowed method for design of modulated DFT filter banks

A novel and efficient technique to design modulated discrete Fourier transform (DFT) filter banks is introduced in this paper. The proposed method first relaxes the limits that the synthesis filters are the time-reversed version of the analysis filters and then adopts the time domain formula of the perfect reconstruction property as the solution to design the synthesis filters. The prototype filter in analysis filter banks is designed based on Fourier-Kaiser window approach. Simulation results show that the designed filter banks approximately satisfy the perfect reconstruction with controllable reconstruction errors.
