By extending the relationship between the DWT and the DFT over C to the NTT over GF(p), we find that the analog of the DWT is a wavelet transform in GF(p). System representations of this transform, such as filter banks, 2-circulant matrices, and a unitary transformation matrix are summarized. A detailed example with supporting MATLAB code is also given.
This paper presents a brief theoretical treatment of cyclic wavelet transforms in GF(p), where p is a Fermat prime [1]. Related practical and theoretical issues, such as principal square roots in GF(p) are also discussed. A detailed example is worked and MATLAB code is provided.
