Based on the minimization of the objective function, quantified in terms of the total number of multiplications required, subject to prescribed allowable ripples in the passband and stopband, the impulse response coefficients of the prototype filter in each stage are obtained to meet the requirements of the overall specifications for each channel at the receiver side. Simulations and experimental results on the frequency modulation（ FM） broadcast mutlichannel signal receiving system with the FM range from88 to 108 MHz, built upon the proposed FFB structure, are performed to verify its performance. Those results indicate that the proposed scheme is efficient in FM audio indexing applications and has a lower computational complexity, which is approximately 66. 4% of the weighted overlap and add（ WOLA） filter banks based solution.展开更多

Channelization has a rigorous requirement for the characteristic of frequency response, e.g., steep transitional band and sharp decay. To address this issue, we investigated the feasibility and implementation of applying fast filter bank(FFB) in channelization in this paper. We analyzed the butterfly structure of FFB similar with fast Fourier transform(FFT), in which prototype sub-filters are cascaded to achieve a low complexity. Hence, it is suitable for designing filter bank with steep transitional band and sharp decay in stop-band. Moreover, we designed a pipelined structure of FFB to achieve a balance between area and performance. Design example shows that FFB has lower computational complexity compared with the other filter banks.展开更多
