For an orthonormal wavelet refinement filter, is equivalent to the displayed identity. A high-pass filter can be chosen with coefficients . In frequency, its symbol is , up to a constant phase. The two channels split an approximation space into a coarser approximation and its orthogonal complement.
For a scaling refinement equation , set . The quadrature mirror filter identity makes the two rows and a unitary matrix, where . The complementary coefficients yield . In a multiresolution analysis, coefficient-space completeness shows its translates form an orthonormal basis of , hence its dilations and translates form an orthonormal wavelet basis of the whole space.

A Quadrature Mirror Filter (QMF) is a type of digital filter that is commonly used in signal processing, particularly in applications like subband coding, audio compression, and wavelet transforms. The primary purpose of a QMF is to split a signal into two frequency bands, typically low and high frequencies, in such a way that the original signal can be perfectly reconstructed when these bands are combined.
