Abstract—This paper explores subband coding and the appli- cation of filter banks. First, the fundamentals of multirate systems will be reviewed. Next, the classic quadrature mirror filter bank is presented along with a discussion on how to eliminate all forms of distortion. An example of subband coding will be presented that utilizes two-dimensional quadrature mirror filter banks for image compression.
