“…With the publication of [6], and the use of polyphase networks [11], what might be called the classic age, starting in about 1968 and continuing through about 1982 and probably dying out a year or so later, of digital transmultiplexers using single sideband channels emerged, and many improvements and modifications in designs and implementations thereof were explored [7][8][9][10][12][13][14][15][16][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][65][66][67], with significant numbers of these resulting in commercial equipment. Some novel ideas such as the use of wave digital filters [40][41][42][43][44]62,63], directional filters [64] and spread spectrum modulation were also explored and implemented [63].…”

A review is presented first of the evolution of transmultiplexers since about 1966, in the context of a long progression of theoretical advances and developments leading to recent proposals to fundamentally improve OFDM type systems using principles of perfect reconstruction filter (PRF) banks. The equivalence of transmultiplexers to OFDM type multi-user systems is discussed. The desirable goals for performance and implementation of transmultiplexers or multiband, multiuser communication systems that are addressed and met in this paper using filter bank trees are set down. Then modifications and extensions are presented of the designs and architectures of wavelet packet based synthesis and analysis pairs of filter bank trees (Sablatash and Lodge in Digital Signal Process 13: 58-92, 2003) that can be used as transmultiplexers. These exhibit a number of advantages over the previous designs and address three shortcomings of the designs used to illustrate basic principles in Sablatash and Lodge (Digital Signal Process 13:58-92, 2003). The first of these is the asymmetry of the magnitude frequency responses of the multiplexer channels, which is addressed using a symmetric design for a lowpass and highpass quadrature mirror filter (QMF) pair described herein. The second is the problem of minimizing the total delay of the signal in passing through the analysis and synthesis filter banks. This is addressed using an architecture involving DFT polyphase synthesis filter banks to replace the wideband VSB filters at the roots of the two identical synthesis filter bank trees, but results in the multiplexer having fewer levels. In this way a Financial support under Industry Canada's Spectrum Research Funding is gratefully acknowledged.M. Sablatash (tradeoff is effected of lower delay and complexity with fewer levels of bandwidth on demand. At the receiver matching DFT polyphase analysis filters and the other matching analysis filters are implemented. The third shortcoming is the difficulty in designing a synchronization scheme if the filters in the synthesis and analysis filter banks have non-linear phase. This is addressed by designing linear phase filters that do not affect the ISI to any significant degree for communication purposes, although exact perfect reconstruction is lost, but greatly ease and improve the design of the synchronization scheme. Relationships of this paper and its advantages over recent research studies and IEEE 802.22 standards proposals using PR filter banks for multi-user systems to greatly improve on OFDM systems are discussed.

“…It is interesting that two such markedly different structures as those in Ref. (20) and (21) should be completely equivalent. The algorithms employed in the two approaches are quite different and advantages are claimed for both.…”

“…It can therefore be seen that, an alias free analysis-synthesis DFB pair is described by G = G() ÷÷ G = G(1T) (19) That is and G are convolution matrices where 0(z) is t1e transfer function in y(z) = x(z)G(z). (20) In this case the DFB pair is shift-invariant. DFB 317 pairs meeting this requirement will be described in the next section.…”

Signal processing structures, incorporating one and two digital filter banks (DFB's), are examined with the aid of a polyphase transform that is defined. Convenient matrix descriptions for DFB structures and the short-time Fourier transform are obtained. A condition for decimation in DFB's without aliasing is obtained and shown to be equivalent to shift invariance. Certain commonly employed filter banks with real and complex structures are seen to admit realization with the low noise, memory efficient SIDO filter structure.

The forthcoming third generation of satellites incorporating multichannel demodulator (MCD) processors, and the needs apparent within aviation systems, induce the requirement for efficient band processing algorithms with specific regard to the quadrature processing arrangement. This paper presents a coherent z‐domain formulation of the pertinent digital transmultiplexer algorithms for the on‐board processing (OBP) scenario, with a view to establishing a set of desirable algorithmic properties suitable for the preferred complex oriented quadrature processing algorithms. Stemming from the principles set forth, an ensemble of new algorithms based upon mixes of Hilbert transforming and real transform algorithms is presented, wherein the established concepts relating to the telephone network transmultiplexer algorithms are able to be exploited in certain cases. Further, the computational load of one of the methods is lower than that of a known prominent OBP related technique. The computational necessities of the various algorithms are laid down for comparative purposes in addition to the mathematical descriptions.
