We provide a comprehensive analysis of the time-varying modified DFT MDFT filter bank based on the general time-varying filter bank theories Wang 2005 2006 2008 2009 in both the time domain and frequency domain. We give firstly the description of the time-invariant MDFT filter bank including its perfect reconstruction PR condition its mechanism of aliasing error cancellation and the relationship with the cosine-modulated filter bank in detail. Then the time-varying MDFT filter bank is analyzed according to the time-domain description. Finally the window switching method is introduced to design the prototype filter in the time-varying MDFT filter bank with examples. The error analysis shows that the introduced design approach is useful in practice. 1. Introduction Modified DFT filter banks MDFT and their applications are intensively studied in 1-5 . But all analyses are done in the frequency domain for the time-invariant modified DFT filter banks. In the literature we do not find any works for the time-varying MDFT filter bank. Subband coding is a widely used method in the digital signal processing and the telecommunication areas such as subband speech and .
