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 basics 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 basics
• 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.

Reader Reviews
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.
