Time-varying discrete-time signal expansions as time-varying filter banks

The time-varying discrete-time signal expansion was analysed based on the theory of time-varying filter banks in detail. A general definition of time-varying discrete-time wavelet transforms is provided. Usually, a time-varying discrete-time signal expansion can be implemented using a time-varying filter bank. Using the time-varying filter bank theory, the authors developed a useful algorithm to calculate the dual basis function in a biorthogonal time-varying discrete-time signal expansion. Example is given to show the usage of the algorithm. In the last part, the authors provide a detailed analysis of the general time-varying discrete-time wavelet transform. Some useful properties of the time-varying discrete-time wavelet transform including their proofs are given. The relationship between the tree-structured implementation and the non-uniform filter bank implementation is discussed.
