Efficient Design of Cosine-Modulated Filter Banks via Convex Optimization
This paper presents efficient approaches for designing cosine-modulated filter banks with linear phase prototype filter. First, we show that the design problem of the prototype filter being a spectral factor of 2M th-band filter is a nonconvex optimization problem with low degree of nonconvexity. As a result, the nonconvex optimization problem can be cast into a semi-definite programming (SDP) problem by a convex relaxation technique. Then the reconstruction error is further minimized by an efficient iterative algorithm in which the closed-form expression is given in each iteration. Several examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method over the existing ones.
