Uncommon Multirate Signal Processing for Real-Time Systems

Uncommon Multirate Signal Processing for Real-Time Systems
Jim Shima
This talk covers a not-so-well-known multirate Fourier property and it's time-domain dual. Though obscure, the judicious use of this property can open up large unexpected computational efficiencies for real-time signal processing algorithms. Efficient solutions suitable for high-speed implementations are also presented - including decimation, channelization, and sparse signal processing.

Awesome talk! Presumably some pretty nifty optimizations are possible if one implements a 4 channel WOLA channelizer with a halfband filter and osr=2😉 May come out simpler than the polyphase way at least for full custom ASIC implementation.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Indeed, now you are talking! Yeah, lots of cool optimizations can fall out of that. And for sure it would be simpler, since in my experience skipping over zero coeffs in a polyphase filter requires special logic (which typically breaks any pipelining). And not having to do full FFT would be more icing on the cake. Just straight up savings by just not doing those operations...

Excellent! The part comparing T2F and F2T channelization approaches was very insightful!

What were you looking for? I have a smattering of matlab code up on github here:

This talk alone justifies the fees for the whole conference. What an insight! Thank you very much.
