Signal splitting and perfect reconstruction in subband coding is based on the assumption that quantization errors are negligible. But if subband signal is quantized, 4 types of errors occurs thus it is not impossible to do perfect reconstruction. These errors are QMF design error, aliasing error, signal error and random error. By using the QMF for subband splitting, the QMF error does not present. and by using the Lloyd-Max quantizer for the quantization and by using an appropriate synthesis filter, all signal dependent errors can be cancelled and the remaining error is random error which is uncorrelated with the original image〔1〕. In this thesis, Lenna and Camera-Man image are devided into 10 subbands by using the D4 and D20 wavelet And the subband signals are quantized by using the Lloyd-Max quantizer and the quantization errors are compared. and evaluated.

This paper presents an adaptive AEC(acoustic echo canceller) based on the wavelet transform using M-channel subband QMF filter banks. The proposed algorithm improves the performance of AEC with a realtime process by a low complexity of wavelet transform filter banks, a subband processing and a orthogonality of wavelet subband filter. Adaptive filter coefficients of each subband are updated using LMS algorithm with a low complexity and a easy realization for a realtime processing and a reduction of hardware cost. For a input signal, a white Gaussian noise and a real speech signal with a environment noises are used for a performance estimation of the proposed algorithm. As a result of computer simulation, the proposed AEC has a low asymptotic error, a low computation complexity and a robust performance.

확성회의 시스템에서 응용되는 반향신호 제거기는 긴 잔향시간을 갖는 실내 공간의 환경변화에 따라 필터 계수의 갱신에 많은 시간이 요구되어 실시간 처리에 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연산량 저감을 통한 실시간 처리를 위하여 중첩가산방식의 SSB(Single Side Band) 필터뱅크를 사용한 서브밴드 적응 신호처리법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 입력과 출력의 스펙트럼을 몇 개의 주파수 밴드로 분할하여, 각 밴드를 ES-NLMS(Exponential Step-Normalized Least Mean Square) 알고리즘을 이용하여 적응 처리하는 것이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 중첩가산방식의 SSB 필터뱅크가 풀밴드 보다 ERLE(Echo Return Loss Enhancement)가 1∼2㏈ 정도 작을 때 연산량이 풀밴드 보다 약95%, QMF(Quadrature Mirror Filter)필터뱅크보다 약50% 정도 감소하여 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

MPEG4 High Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding (HE-AAC) and MPEG Surround are one of the most efficient combinations for low bit rate multi-channel audio coding. Based on the fact that these two codecs have identical quadrature mirror filter (QMF) analysis and synthesis structures, we propose a dual-domain connection scheme for the codecs. Specifically two time-domain connection methods are analyzed and compared to the QMF subband-domain connection method. Experimental results show that both the time-domain connection methods cause no subjective sound quality degradation compared to the QMF subband-domain connection method, which verifies that one can select either of them depending on application scenarios.

음성신호를 관찰하였을 때 성문특성으로 인해서 고주파 쪽 특성이 약화되는 경향이 있다. 약화된 고주파 특성을 보상하기 위하여 프리 엠퍼시스 필터를 통해 보상하고 있다. 프리 엠퍼시스 필터를 간단한 수식으로 표현하면 y(n)=s(n)-As(n-1)와 같이 차분 방정식으로 나타낼 수 있다. 여기서 A값은 보통 0.9에서 1사이의 값을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 QMF 필터를 이용하여 입력신호를 고주파와 저주파의 2개의 대역으로 분할하여 각 밴드에 프리 엠퍼시스 필터를 적용하여 약화되어진 특성을 정확히 보상하는 방법을 제안한다.

A new ion beam extraction system is designed using a simple ion mass filter and a micro mass balance and a QMS based detecting system. A quadrupole Mass Filter is used for selective ion beam formation from inductively coupled high density plasma sources with appropriate electrostatic lens and final analyzing QMS. Also a quartz crystal microbalance is set between a QMF and a QMS to measure the etching and polymerization rate of the mass selected ion beam. An inductively coupled plasma was used as a ion/radical source which had an electron temperature of 4-8 eV and electron density of $4${\times}$10^{11}$＃/㎤. A computer interfaced system through 12bit AD-DA board can control the pass ion mass of the qmf by setting RF/DC voltage ratio applied to the quadrupoles so that time modulation of pass ion's mass is possible. So the direct measurements of ion - surface chemistry can be possible in a resolution of $1\AA$/sec based on the qcm's sensitivity. A full set of driving software and hardware setting is successfully carried out to get fundamental plasma information of the ICP source and analysed $Ar^{+}$ beam was detected at the $2^{nd}$ QMS.

광대역 능동잡음제거는 수 백개의 적응필터 탭 수를 갖는다. 탭 수가 긴 적응필터는 많은 계산량이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 적응계수 벡터가 서브밴드로 계산되는 M-채널 QMF 필터뱅크와 적응필터를 이용한 자동차 소음제거 모델을 제안한다. 분해 필터뱅크와 합성 필터뱅크는 cosine-modulated pseudo QMF 필터를 사용한다. 오차경로의 전달특성을 온라인 인식하기 위한 기준신호는 적응필터의 출력신호와 저주파대역의 서브밴드 출력신호와의 차신호를 사용한다. 따라서 제안한 자동차 소음제거 모델은 계산량이 적고 수렴속도가 빠른 견실한 시스템이 되도록 제안한다.

In 1-D subband coding system, a quadrature mirror filter (QMF) pair can be used to split a signal into two subbands and to reconstruct the original signal. In this paper, a pair of 1-D reconstruction filter for the subband coding system is introduced and a coding technique with classified vector quantization, based on energy distributions, for 16 subband images is presented. As computer simulation results show that the method can give similar perceptual quality with bit rate reduced by $20{\sim}30%$ of that of ordinary vector quantization.

When finite length signal is the input of QMF banks which are composed of the M-band orthogonal wavelet filter, the boundaries of reconstructed signal are not reconstructed perfectly. For boundary signals to be reconstructed perfectly, different type filters or methods are applied to them. In this paper, the design method of boundary filters which can be reconstructed the boundary signal perfectly was proposed, in case the dimension of M-band decomposed signal is the same as that of input signal. The boundary filters were designed using the perfect reconstruction condition of paraunitary matrix. In an application of subband coding of still image, the proposed boundary filters achieve better PSNR about 5% in reconstructed image than reflected method at the same bit rate.
