Practical Non-Uniform Channelization for Multistandard Base Stations
A Multistandard software-defined radio base station must perform non-uniform channelization of multiplexed frequency bands. Non-uniform
channelization accounts for a significant portion of the digital signal processing workload in the base station receiver and can be difficult to realize in a physical
implementation. In non-uniform channelization methods based on generalized DFT filter banks, large prototype filter orders are a significant issue for
implementation. In this paper, a multistage filter design is applied to two different non-uniform generalized DFT-based channelizers in order to reduce their filter
orders. To evaluate the approach, a TETRA and TEDS base station is used. Experimental results show that the new multistage design reduces both the number
of coefficients and operations and leads to a more feasible design and practical physical implementation
