Fractional discrete-time signal processing: scale conversion and linear prediction

Nonlinear Dynamics, Vol. 29

A generalisation of the linear prediction for fractional steps is reviewed, widening well-known concepts and results. This prediction is used to derive a causal interpolation algorithm. A reconstruction algorithm for the situation where averages are observed is also presented. Scale conversion of discrete-time signals is studied taking as base the fractional discrete-time system theory. Some simulation results to illustrate the behaviour of the algorithms will be presented. A new algorithm for performing the zoom transform is also described.
