Block Transforms as Filter Banks
摘要
Block transforms (e.g., the DFT) can be viewed as critically sampled uniform filter banks. Each transform coefficient is a downsampled subband sample, with the analysis/synthesis “filters” given directly by columns/rows of the transform and its inverse. This chapter shows how to read off the equivalent impulse responses, explains why perfect reconstruction (PR) follows from transform invertibility, and illustrates the interpretation with Python examples. We also comment on windowing and overlap (WOLA/MDCT) as practical ways to improve per-channel selectivity while retaining PR.
