6.11 SUMMARY

This chapter covered the basics of time-frequency analysis techniques for audio signal processing and coding. We also highlighted the time-frequency tradeoff challenges faced by the audio codec designers when designing a filter bank. We discussed both the QMF and CQF filter-bank designs and their extended tree-structured forms. We also dealt in detail with the cosine modulated pseudo-QMF and perfect reconstruction M-band filter-bank designs. The modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) and the various window designs were also covered in detail.
