Use the Fourier transform convention . Nesting and the orthonormal basis of give the scaling refinement equationHere . Compact support makes these inner products zero for all but finitely many , so is a trigonometric polynomial. Expanding the orthogonality of the integer translates of in the orthonormal basis of yieldsConsequentlyThis holds everywhere because is continuous. The invoked properties are nesting, dyadic dilation, orthonormal integer translates, and compact support; mere finite-energy refinement would not imply the quadrature mirror filter identity.
