Wavelet packet transforms for system-on-chip applications

A methodology for the production of silicon cores for wavelet packet decomposition has been developed. The scheme utilizes efficient scalable architectures for both orthonormal and biorthogonal wavelet transforms. The cores produced from these architectures can be readily scaled for any wavelet function and are easily configurable for any subband structure. The cores are fully parameterized in terms of wavelet choice and appropriate wordlengths. Designs produced are portable across a range of silicon foundries as well as FPGA and PLD technologies. A number of exemplar implementations have been produced.
