Multirate signal processing has recently witnessed a great deal of activity, with a wide range of applications in signal coding and compression, in image processing, multiresolution and wavelet analysis. Multirate Systems and Filter Banks is a completely up-to-date and in-depth treatment of the fundamentals as well as recent advancements in this field. This is a self-contained text providing both theoretical developments and design tools.

The book will form a basis for graduate courses in multitrate signal processing. Its encyclopedic nature also makes it a unique reference for researchers. The design methods and examples provide a valuable source of information for the practicing professional.

Contents:

• Review of discrete-time systems and digital filters
• Multirate signal processing fundamentals
• Multirate filter banks and perfect reconstruction systems
• Paraunitary filter banks
• Extended lapped orthogonal transforms
• Roundoff noise analysis
• Wavelet transforms and relation to multirate filter banks
• Multidimensional multirate systems
• Review of multi-input multi-output systems
• Detailed study of paraunitary systems
• Five appendices on topics such as subband quantization, transform coding, spectral factorization, matrix theory, and random processes.

The text contains over 400 illustrations. There are many well-chosen examples and design-examples, and over 300 problems to be solved.

4.0 out of 5 stars Multirate and Filter Banks from an engineer's perspective, July 10, 2000

Vaidyanathan's book is a very concise, yet enjoyable book on multirate systems and filter banks. Multirate systems and Filter banks represent some of the state-of-the-art research even today, and I'm a strong proponent of introducing the basic concepts as early as possible, even in the first DSP course.

Vaidyanathan is an engineer first, mathematician second. Note the difference between his approach and Mallat's approach, for example. He relies more on intuition albeit sometimes lacking purpose, which makes this book more readable for the engineers but hard to read cover to cover. This makes this book a very handy reference if you need to pick certain topics up in a hurry.

He also has a very nice, but very concise, review of basic DSP concepts and introduction of basic multirate system properties. However, the speed at which he covers this can be discouraging to some.

Some people would argue that his writing can be hard to read, and this is true sometimes. But his geometric interpretation of lattices and filter banks is more than worth the price of admission.

Nonetheless, I would still recommend this book to engineers interested in either learning about multirate systems and filter banks, or for a reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Multirate systems and filter banks for engineers, December 17, 2002

By

This review is from: Multirate Systems And Filter Banks (Paperback)

You'll get in this book a complete treatment of the theory
of multirate systems and filter banks. The practical side
is not the focus. The large number of examples and figures
make it easy to follow (reading it from cover to cover is
not that difficult). The intuition beyond the theory is well
developed, at the expense of a light mathematical treatment.
The geometrical and algebraic view provided by Vaidyanathan
is unique and probably deserves to be taught in any DSP course
for engineers, even at the introductory level. Signal processing
people however could find its style too intuitive but engineers
should like it as a reference book in these topics.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best elegant book on filter bank, September 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Multirate Systems And Filter Banks (Paperback)

Among the few books on filter bank and wavelets which I read and then gave up, this is by far the best, albeit the oldest, one. It gets right into all theoretic details about filter banks in such elegant words and mathematics that often pursuade me to read further just for the fun of it. Even its chapters about quantization and compression provide deeper insights than most other books that undertake singal compression as their only task.
