Filter Bank Fusion Frames
In this paper we characterize and construct novel oversampled filter banks
implementing fusion frames. A fusion frame is a sequence of orthogonal
projection operators whose sum can be inverted in a numerically stable way.
When properly designed, fusion frames can provide redundant encodings of
signals which are optimally robust against certain types of noise and erasures.
However, up to this point, few implementable constructions of such frames were
known; we show how to construct them using oversampled filter banks. In this
work, we first provide polyphase domain characterizations of filter bank fusion
frames. We then use these characterizations to construct filter bank fusion
frame versions of discrete wavelet and Gabor transforms, emphasizing those
specific finite impulse response filters whose frequency responses are
well-behaved.Comment: keywords: filter banks, frames, tight, fusion, erasures, polyphas
Grassmannian Frames with Applications to Coding and Communication
For a given class of uniform frames of fixed redundancy we define
a Grassmannian frame as one that minimizes the maximal correlation among all frames . We first analyze
finite-dimensional Grassmannian frames. Using links to packings in Grassmannian
spaces and antipodal spherical codes we derive bounds on the minimal achievable
correlation for Grassmannian frames. These bounds yield a simple condition
under which Grassmannian frames coincide with uniform tight frames. We exploit
connections to graph theory, equiangular line sets, and coding theory in order
to derive explicit constructions of Grassmannian frames. Our findings extend
recent results on uniform tight frames. We then introduce infinite-dimensional
Grassmannian frames and analyze their connection to uniform tight frames for
frames which are generated by group-like unitary systems. We derive an example
of a Grassmannian Gabor frame by using connections to sphere packing theory.
Finally we discuss the application of Grassmannian frames to wireless
communication and to multiple description coding.Comment: Submitted in June 2002 to Appl. Comp. Harm. Ana
Parity-check matrix calculation for paraunitary oversampled DFT filter banks
International audienceOversampled filter banks, interpreted as error correction codes, were recently introduced in the literature. We here present an efficient calculation and implementation of the parity-check polynomial matrices for oversampled DFT filter banks. If desired, the calculation of the partity-check polynomials can be performed as part of the prototype filter design procedure. We compare our method to those previously presented in the literature
Systematic DFT Frames: Principle, Eigenvalues Structure, and Applications
Motivated by a host of recent applications requiring some amount of
redundancy, frames are becoming a standard tool in the signal processing
toolbox. In this paper, we study a specific class of frames, known as discrete
Fourier transform (DFT) codes, and introduce the notion of systematic frames
for this class. This is encouraged by a new application of frames, namely,
distributed source coding that uses DFT codes for compression. Studying their
extreme eigenvalues, we show that, unlike DFT frames, systematic DFT frames are
not necessarily tight. Then, we come up with conditions for which these frames
can be tight. In either case, the best and worst systematic frames are
established in the minimum mean-squared reconstruction error sense. Eigenvalues
of DFT frames and their subframes play a pivotal role in this work.
Particularly, we derive some bounds on the extreme eigenvalues DFT subframes
which are used to prove most of the results; these bounds are valuable
independently
