Design of two-channel quadrature mirror filter bank using particle swarm optimization

In this paper, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to design the quadrature mirror filter (QMF) banks with linear phase in frequency domain. A unique PSO is developed to optimize filter bank coefficients to match the ideal system response. The three main attributes used in assessing the performance of filter are reconstruction error, mean square error in pass band and mean square error in stop band. The proposed PSO based method produces almost the same result as that of the existing methods. As compared to the existing methods this method is very simple to implement for the QMF bank optimization. To implement the proposed PSO algorithm, a Matlab program is developed and three examples have been presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.
