Abstract

We provide a frame-theoretic analysis of oversampled, FIR and IIR, uniform filter banks (FBs). Our analysis is based on a new relation between the FB's polyphase matrices and the frame operator corresponding to a FB. For a given oversampled analysis FB, we present a parameterization of all synthesis FBs providing perfect reconstruction. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for an oversampled FB to provide a frame expansion. A new frame-theoretic procedure for the design of paraunitary FBs from given nonparaunitary FBs is formulated. We show that the frame bounds of a FB can be obtained by an eigenanalysis of the polyphase matrices. The relevance of the frame bounds as a characterization of important numerical properties of a FB is assessed by means of a stochastic sensitivity analysis. We consider special cases in which the calculation of the frame bounds and synthesis filters is simplified. Finally, simulation results are presented.
