Текст научной статьи Highly Selective Digital Filter Bank through Linear Variation of Stopband Attenuation in Multirate Processing by Sample Modification Technique
Several applications require effective spectral reception by which the signal processing at the succeeding stages and implementation of hardware becomes easier. For this purpose, amplitude and frequency components of received signal must be detected to much of accuracy when the signals are to be received with maximum peak response, free from adjacent channel interference and better stopband attenuation. Moreover, the computational complexity and hardware complexity should be less. To derive the above advantages, this paper proposes a novel approach of sample modification technique in Multirate digital filter bank [1,2] followed by efficient Fast Fourier transform (FFT) technique. Because of specified advantages in the proposed method of spectral analysis it is better suited in various applications.
Further, the proposed spectral response becomes more selective for the reception of vestigial modulated side band sequences because the proposed method of spectral response can able to extract the low frequency components which attached to the adjacent frequency band of assumed passband. These low frequency components are highly essential to keep with important information without which the received signal creates noise in the reception system. Extraction of such frequency components is difficult by existing filter bank response of higher stopband attenuation. This disadvantage can be overcome by the proposed method by having the linear stopband attenuation characteristic. The characteristic serves the purpose of extracting such important information apart from exhibiting high stopband attenuation for undesired input frequencies. There is a scope of possible enhancement in selectivity, lesser adjacent channel interference and smooth response as compared to the results, clarified by authors [3,4,7]. Further, there is a possibility of improvement in peak response and stopband attenuation as compared to the results shown in [5,6,8]. In addition, there is a possible enhancement in spectral response so as to make better suitable for extraction of vestigial modulated side band sequences as compared to the existing method [9] and more over resulting to better image coding gain as compared to existing method [10].
The proposed method uses the novel approach of input sample modification technique which is appended to Modified Kaiser window based Finite impulse response (FIR) type of Multirate digital bandpass filter bank. This filter bank causes for better passband and stopband characteristic and selectivity apart from precise control over phase response. The techniques used in FFT reduce the computational complexity and hardware complexity rather than specified one in the reference [8]. Prior to modification of samples, the input signal is heterodyned with respect to starting frequency of band of interest so that the input band is shifted to lower frequencies starting from ‘0’ Hz. This operation is performed for minimizing the computational complexity. The proposed filter bank separates the input signal band into frequency bands as it forms the basis for a Multichannel compression in hearing aid development [11,12], apart from analysis of spectral components. In addition, each stage of filter bank attains constant width cum sharp rise of response which causes for improvement of selectivity in the spectral output. An important characteristic of linear stopband attenuation is arrived in the spectral output. This feature is more advantageous in hearing aid development for effective extraction of low frequencies of assumed passband resulting to improvement of selectivity. The above merits are arrived in the proposed method without the need of information with regard to stopband frequencies as like in existing method [13]. Further, these merits in the proposed method have lead to improvement in respect of stopband response, constant width cum sharp rise of passband response and less adjacent channel interference as compared to the existing methods [3,4,7] apart from great reduction in computational complexity and further resulting to enhancement in stopband attenuation and peak output response as compared to existing methods [5,6,8]. The improvement in selectivity of spectral output in the proposed method is attained due to linear amplitude variation in stopband attenuation and constant width cum sharp rise of response. This method is particularly verified at lower frequencies with ‘Cosine input function’ as this function represents the real time signals in number of applications. This method is described with the help of analytic equations. The simulation results and performance characteristics of proposed method are drawn to verify the facts.

III. III. PROPOSED METHOD WITH NEW
TECHNIQUE IN MULTIRATE PROCESSING
The proposed method is mainly based on novel technique, attached to Modified Kaiser window based FIR bandpass filter bank preceded with heterodyning operation and followed by Fast Fourier transform. The input signal is generated for the band of interest and each sample is multiplied by cos(2πw p ׀nT) in order perform the heterodyning operation, where ‘w p ׀’ is the starting frequency of input band and ‘n’ is the sample number. Now, the heterodyned output (x 1 (n)) is modified by the novel technique so as to result in Finally modified input sequence (x 4 (m)) as shown in figure 3. The intermittent signal conversions at various intermediate stages of the input signal are explained as below.
At first, the biggest value (big) among heterodyned output samples is calculated. Later, an intermediate sequence, ‘x 2 (m)’, is arrived by subtracting every sample of heterodyned output from the value ‘big’ and each result of which is divided by ‘200’. The next form of modified sequence ‘x 3 (m)’ is arrived by adding the corresponding samples of x 1 (m) and x 2 (m). Finally, except for first and third samples, the individual sample value of ‘x 3 (m)’ is doubled. The first sample of ‘x 3 (m)’ is unchanged while dividing the third sample by 0.45, resulting to Finally modified input sequence. Now, the samples of ‘x 4 (m)’ are taken as input to the individual stage of bandpass filter bank and each bandpass filter is designed to meet the desired specifications as shown in table 1. The time domain output of individual stage bandpass filter is obtained by taking the convolution between ‘x 4 (m)’ and unit sample response of individual bandpass filter stage resulting to time domain output sequences such as y 1 ׀(m), y 2 ׀(m), y 3 ׀(m),……..y i ׀(m) as shown in figure 4. The output of individual bandpass filter is rounded to ‘N’ samples by placing zeroes after relative magnitude values at successive intervals of time. The value ‘N’ is equal to a number, 2t, where ‘t’ is an integer such that, the value ‘N’ is next immediate greater value to the number of output samples of bandpass filter. Finally, the frequency response of individual stage of bandpass filter is arrived by performing radix-2 Fast Fourier transform on ‘N’ samples of the filter response as shown in figure 4. The related procedure of Fast Fourier transform in connection with figure 4, is shown in figure 5.
From figure 1, the signal conversions at various points upon input signal can be considered in the form as mentioned below.
x 1 (n) = x(n)(cos(nw p ׀T)) (16)
Where ‘wp׀’ is the starting frequency of input signal band in rad/sec. and x(n) is the input signal, where ‘n’ = 0,1,2,-------(N1-1), Where ‘N1’ is the number of input samples as corresponding to sampling frequency ‘F’. The samples of x1(n) are taken at the decimated sampling frequency such that the decimation factor, ‘D’ = F/F׀, where ‘F׀’ is the decimated sampling frequency.
Let x(nT) be the input signal with number of input samples be ‘N1’. The decimated output of original input signal is taken by using the Interpolation formula as given below
( ^ 1 - 1)
x i (mT y ) = S x i ( nT ) g ( mTy - nT ) (17)
n = 0
Where ‘T’ is the original sampling period and ‘T y ’ is the sampling period of decimated output. ‘n’ and ‘m’ are the sample numbers of original and decimated input signals respectively such that ‘n’ = 0,1,2,-------(N1-1) and ‘m’ =
0,1,2,3--------(M-1), where ‘M’ are number of samples of decimated input signal.
Where g(t) is given as sin (nt / T) / \ g (t) = ( \G G (F 1) = 1
( nt / T )
T ,-I F 1 < F /2
0,- otherwise
Equation (17) provides the fundamental equation for the discrete implementation of sampling rate conversion.
Хд ( m ) = 2{ x g( m )}....., for .....' m ' = 2,4,5,----( M - 1) > (19)
x 4(1) = {x3(1)} x 4(3) = {x 3(3)}/(0.45)
The samples of x4(m) are taken as inputs to the filter bank stages. The time domain output of individual bandpass filter stage is obtained by taking the convolution between x4(m) and Unit sample response of individual stage of bandpass filter such that y^'(m) = x^ (m) * h (m)
У 2' ( m ) = x^ ( m ) * h^ ( m )
yi '( m ) = x 4( m )* hi ( m )
Where h 1 (m), h 2 (m), h 3 (m)……h i (m) are the unit sample responses of individual bandpass filter stages and ‘i’ is the number of bandpass filter stage. Each stage output of filter consists of (N׀+M-1) samples positioned from ‘n’ = 0 to n = (N׀+M-2), where ‘N׀’ is the order of filter and ‘M’ is the number of Finally modified input samples. These samples of filter output are extended to ‘N’ by zero padding the remaining samples from (N׀+M-1) to (N-1), resulted as

Figure 3. Block diagram of the time domain output of Finally modified Output sequence


Lastly, an ‘N’ point FFT is carried out on these filter outputs, namely, y 1 (m), y 2 (m),…….y i (m) in order to arrive N-point outputs for ‘i’ stages as y 1 (k), y 2 (k),…….y i (k). The individual FFT stage output is derived according to the equation (22).
(N-1) -2nfTy m y1(k) = ^ y1(m)(e))
(N-1) -2nTy) m y2(k) = m^0 y2(m)(e) у
(N-1) -2nfTy m yi(k) = S yi(m)(e m=0
The method of performing FFT is well described in figure 5 which elite the advantages adhered in reducing the hardware complexity. The features of Fast Fourier transform are hereby as follows.

IV. IV. FAST FOURIER TRANSFORM METHOD
For deducing the frequency domain output response, the Fast Fourier transform is exercised on filter bank time domain response. The techniques involved in the FFT operation are such that every parameter which takes place in FFT operation is deduced with respect to stage number because of which the hardware complexity becomes lesser. The number of stages in FFT operation is dependent upon the number points (N) upon which FFT is to performed. The number of output points of filter bank is rounded to ‘N’ such that its value should be equal to 2t, where ‘t’ is an integer. The FFT is of In-place radix-2 ‘Decimation in time’ algorithm whose methodology is shown in Figure 5. This type of FFT minimizes the computations because of which the proposed output response is achieved with lesser computational complexity.

V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The proposed method of spectral analysis is implemented for the input frequency band between 400 Hz and 680 Hz and further divided this band into four stages. The input signal is considered over a band of frequencies from 410 Hz to 670 Hz so that the sampling frequency becomes (2)(700) = 1400 Hz. After heterodyning operation, this sampling frequency is reduced to 800 Hz by a decimation factor ‘D’ such that the value ‘D’ becomes (1400/800). This decimated sampling frequency is so chosen to result in ‘Alias free’ for the frequency modified input signal. The bandwidth for each stage of input is taken as 50 Hz as such the four input frequency bands which are considered to be 410 Hz - 460 Hz, 480 Hz - 530 Hz, 550 Hz - 600 Hz and
620 Hz - 670 Hz respectively. The selected band of input frequencies are received primarily by four stage bandpass filter bank whose specifications of passband and stopband frequencies of individual stage are mentioned in table 1. The filter bank is designed from 0 Hz to 280 Hz for the assumed input signal band, as the input frequency band is shifted correspondingly from 10 Hz to 270 Hz. As a result of constructing each stage of filter bank with Modified Kaiser window based FIR design approach, the frequency response and output response of individual filter are arrived as shown in figure 1 and figure 2 with better passband and stopband characteristic as compared to the existing methods [6,7,8,13], where passband ripple and stopband attenuation are assumed as 0.5 dB and 35 dB respectively. Unlike the method of figure 2, other existing method [8] is simulated by taking FFT output for the original input frequency band as shown in figure 6 and corresponding to these existing methods the variation of design parameters are shown from table 2 to table 5. Even in both the responses of figure 2 and figure 6, the output response needs to be enhanced in respect of constant width cum sharp rise of response and stopband attenuation in order to achieve minimum adjacent channel interference. To overcome the above disadvantages and to further extend the advantages, this proposed method of spectral analysis serves more capable. Within the lines of description, the proposed method of filter bank frequency response is arrived as shown in figure 7 in order to witness the cause for obtaining the merits such as smooth response and better selectivity. In addition, the time domain output response of individual stage of filter bank is obtained as shown in figure 8. Finally, the output frequency domain response is attained by taking FFT output on individual time domain response of bandpass filter stage as shown from figure 9 to figure 12, where each response is arrived for the selected band of input frequencies. Further, the values of spectral parameters of proposed method are mentioned in table 6 and table 7.

From these results, it can be concluded that the proposed method of spectral output at each stage has been witnessed with better simulated characteristics in respect of high selectivity, less adjacent channel interference and smooth response as compared to existing methods [3,4,7] and more peak response, better stopband attenuation as compared to existing methods [5,6,8] respectively. A characteristic of linear amplitude variation in stopband is the highlight in achievements and this feature is resulted in high selectivity because such characteristic can faithfully extract the low frequency components of selected passband attached to side bands of assumed passband and more over created better attenuation at stopband frequencies. Therefore, this functionality is well supportive for extracting the vestigial sideband modulated sequences effectively when compared with existing method [9] so as to make better suitable in Multicarrier applications. In addition, for the reason of being prescribed vanishing moments adjacent to passband and for the cause of arrival of the output with less hardware complexity than existing method [13], this type of spectral output has become useful in deriving better gain rather than the existing method [10] in order to work extremely well with image coding. Unlike in existing method [13], the hardware complexity became lesser in the proposed method because the proposed method is carried out with no information pertaining to stopband frequencies. Incorporating the above mentioned techniques, the proposed method is implemented in MATLAB-7.01 and results are verified with the facts. The computational complexity is also utmost form of concern for designing a particular method of spectral analysis. As the computational complexity is directly related to the design parameters such as number of input samples, sampling frequency, number of output frequency points and filter order, the computations became lesser and optimally suitable to any real time application because, the proposed method of filter bank design is done at minimum possible values of these parameters as similar to existing method [13]. Thus, with the arrival of less computational complexity and the involvement of salient techniques in the proposed method, this method greatly minimizes the hardware complexity besides increasing the system accuracy. Because of above reasons, the proposed method of spectral analysis became useful in various real time applications especially in digital hearing aids.

VI. CONCLUSIONS
The simulated results of spectral output are achieved with numerous advantages when compared with results of existing methods. It is verified that the proposed method has brought attractive advantages in respect of high selectivity, peak response, constant width cum sharp rise of response and stopband attenuation in addition to advantages assured rather with ‘Modified Kaiser window’ in respect of better passband and stopband ripple and smooth response as compared to the existing methods specified. An improvement in selectivity of spectral output is worthy of importance because a linear amplitude variation in stopband is arrived at the cost of only input sample modification and without the need of further information pertaining to stopband frequencies. In addition, a better reduction in computational complexity and hardware complexity can be achieved and so the proposed method of spectral output is suitable for any real time application as it takes optimal time for computations and especially draw more advantages in digital hearing aid applications. Because of above merits the proposed method can able to bring attractive advantages with regard to compression techniques and hearing loss compensation. Apart from these advantages, the features of the spectral output and methodology could able to draw advantages in Multicarrier applications and Image coding. Thus the overall performance of the proposed method of spectral output is improved in respect of spectral parameters through which the advantages in various real time applications can be met as per the results published in figures and tables.
