Optimum subband coding of cyclostationary signals

We consider the optimal orthonormal subband coding of zero mean cyclostationary signals, with N-periodic second order statistics. A 2-channel uniform filter bank, with N-periodic analysis and synthesis filters, is used as the subband coder. A dynamic scheme involving N-periodic bit allocation is employed. An average variance condition is used to measure the output distortion. The conditions for maximizing the coding gain parallel those for the case when the signals are wide sense stationary (WSS) and the analysis and synthesis filters and the bit allocation time invariant, in that the blocked subband signals must be decorrelated and the subband power spectral densities must obey an ordering. Some additional conditions on this ordering, over and above those required for the WSS case, are needed
