Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus to generate one or more channel outputs from an input signal having N channels. The input signal is filtered by a polyphase filter to generate N filtered signals. The one or more channel outputs are extracted from the N filtered signal based on one or more phasors corresponding to the one or more channel outputs.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- filtering an input signal having N channels by a polyphase filter to generate N filtered signals;
- and
- extracting one or more channel outputs from the N filtered signal based on one or more phasors corresponding to the one or more channel outputs;
- wherein filtering comprises generating the N filtered signals by a non-recursive filter having P taps, the P taps corresponding to P coefficients arranged in a two-dimensional array.
