Abstract

Hilbert transform is a well-known transform method used in communication systems. In this paper, we propose novel methods for the calculation of discrete Hilbert transform using matrix multiplication. The proposed method has reduced complexity, and it can be used for hardware implementations. Besides, we propose simple methods for the generation of Hilbert transform submatrices used in DHT operation. The proposed approaches can be used in hardware implementations.
