Computationally efficient QMF filter banks

This paper introduces a computationally efficient technique for splitting a signal into N equally spaced sub-bands subsampled by 1/N and for near perfectly reconstructing the original signal from the sub-band signals. This technique is based on a multirate approach where some operations are nested to decrease the computation load. Simulation results show that the performances are comparable to that of conventional quadrature mirror filters, but with a very significant reduction in computational complexity.
