Abstract
This paper explains a study conducted based on wavelet packet transform techniques. In this paper the key idea underlying the construction of wavelet packet analysis (WPA) with various wavelet basis sets is elaborated. Since wavelet packet decomposition can provide more precise frequency resolution than wavelet decomposition the implementation of one dimensional wavelet packet transform and their usefulness in time signal analysis and synthesis is illustrated. A mother or basis wavelet is first chosen for five wavelet filter families such as Haar, Daubechies (Db4), Coiflet, Symlet and dmey. The signal is then decomposed to a set of scaled and translated versions of the mother wavelet also known as time and frequency parameters. Analysis and synthesis of the time signal is performed around 8 seconds to 25 seconds. This was conducted to determine the effect of the choice of mother wavelet on the time signals. Results are also prepared for the comparison of the signal at each decomposition level. The physical changes that are occurred during each decomposition level can be observed from the results. The results show that wavelet filter with WPA are useful for analysis and synthesis purpose. In terms of signal quality and the time required for the analysis and synthesis, the Haar wavelet has been seen to be the best mother wavelet. This is taken from the analysis of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) value which is around 300 dB to 315 dB for the four decomposition levels.
