Instructions: Choose the best answer for each question.

1. What is the main difference between biorthogonal and orthogonal filter banks?

(a) Biorthogonal filter banks use different filters for analysis and synthesis, while orthogonal filter banks use the same filters for both. (b) Orthogonal filter banks achieve perfect reconstruction, while biorthogonal filter banks do not. (c) Biorthogonal filter banks are only suitable for image processing, while orthogonal filter banks are used for all types of signals. (d) Biorthogonal filter banks are computationally more complex than orthogonal filter banks.

2. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of biorthogonal filter banks over orthogonal filter banks?

(a) Better frequency selectivity (b) Improved filter performance (c) Simpler implementation (d) Higher computational complexity

3. What is the key feature that allows biorthogonal filter banks to achieve perfect reconstruction?

(a) The analysis and synthesis filters are identical. (b) The product of the polyphase transfer functions of the analysis and synthesis filters is a pure delay. (c) The filter bank uses a single filter for both analysis and synthesis. (d) The filter bank employs a recursive filtering technique.

4. Which of the following applications does NOT benefit from the use of biorthogonal filter banks?

(a) Image compression (b) Audio compression (c) Medical imaging (d) Digital signal processing for telecommunication

5. What is the primary reason for using biorthogonal filter banks in compression algorithms?

(a) They offer a simpler implementation than orthogonal filter banks. (b) They provide better frequency selectivity, leading to higher compression efficiency. (c) They allow for faster processing speeds. (d) They reduce the amount of data lost during compression.

Exercise: Designing a Biorthogonal Filter Bank

Task:

You are tasked with designing a simple biorthogonal filter bank for audio processing. The goal is to separate an audio signal into two subbands: low frequencies and high frequencies.

Requirements:

• The filter bank should achieve perfect reconstruction.
• The analysis filters should have good frequency selectivity for efficient separation.
• The synthesis filters should be designed to minimize reconstruction artifacts.

Hints:

• You can use existing filter design techniques like the Parks-McClellan algorithm.
• You need to consider the relationship between the polyphase transfer functions of the analysis and synthesis filters to ensure perfect reconstruction.

Deliverables:

• A detailed description of the filter bank design, including the chosen filters and their specifications.
• A justification for your filter selection and design choices.
• A brief analysis of the filter bank's performance in terms of frequency selectivity, reconstruction accuracy, and computational complexity.
