Cognitive Radio (CR) Technology has emerged from software defined radios wherein the key parameters of interest are frequency, power and modulation technique adopted. The role of Cognitive Radio is to alter these parameters under ubiquitous situations. The Spectrum Sensing is an important task to determine the availability of the vacant channels to be utilized by the secondary users without posing any harmful interference to the primary users. In Multicarrier Communication using Digital Signal Processing Techniques, Filter Bank Multi Carrier has an edge over other technologies in terms of Bandwidth and Spectral Efficiency. The present paper deals with the Multi Rate FIR Decimation and Interpolation Filter along with Usage of two band Analysis and Synthesis sub band processing approach for physical layer of Cognitive Radio under fading channel environment.
