TLDR
A discrete-time wavelet transform for which the Q-factor is easily specified and the transform can be tuned according to the oscillatory behavior of the signal to which it is applied, based on a real-valued scaling factor.
Abstract
This paper describes a discrete-time wavelet transform for which the Q-factor is easily specified. Hence, the transform can be tuned according to the oscillatory behavior of the signal to which it is applied. The transform is based on a real-valued scaling factor (dilation-factor) and is implemented using a perfect reconstruction over-sampled filter bank with real-valued sampling factors. Two forms of the transform are presented. The first form is defined for discrete-time signals defined on all of Z. The second form is defined for discrete-time signals of finite-length and can be implemented efficiently with FFTs. The transform is parameterized by its Q-factor and its oversampling rate (redundancy), with modest oversampling rates (e.g., three to four times overcomplete) being sufficient for the analysis/synthesis functions to be well localized.

Iterated filter banks with rational rate changes connection with discrete wavelet transforms

TL;DR: It is shown that if one is ready to put up with the loss of the shift property, rational iterated filter banks can be used in the same manner as if they were dyadic filter banks, with the advantage that rational dilation factors can be chosen closer to 1.
