AB  - Multimedia communications require efficient and real-time implementations of multirate  digital signal processing systems. The backbone structures of multirate systems are digital multirate filter banks. Therefore, efficient multimedia communications rely, in the first place,  on real-time implementations  of multirate filter banks. In this paper, we describe a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation of the analysis and synthesis filter banks which are the fundamental components of multirate systems. The implementation utilizes the parallel form of the distributed arithmetic technique which enables maximum exploitation of the parallelism inherent in the multirate filtering operation.  Performance results demonstrate the effectiveness of the  implementation and suggest that the FPGA platform is indeed attractive for implementing multirate filter banks.
