In this paper we characterize all totally interpolating biorthogonal finite impulse response (FIR) multifilter banks of multiplicity two, and provide a design framework for corresponding compactly supported multiwavelet systems with high approximation order. In these systems, each component of the analysis and synthesis portions possesses the interpolating property. The design framework is based on scalar filter banks and examples with approximation order two and three are provided. We show that our multiwavelet systems preserve almost all of the desirable properties of the generalized interpolating scalar wavelet systems, including the dyadic-rational nature of the filter coefficients, equality of the flatness degree of the low-pass filters and the approximation order of the corresponding functions, and equality between the uniform samples of a signal and its projection coefficients for a given scale. This last property allows us to avoid the cumbersome prefiltering associated with standard multiwavelet systems. We also show that there are no symmetric totally interpolating biorthogonal multifilter banks of multiplicity two. Finally, we point out that our design framework incorporates a simple relationship between the multiscaling functions and multiwavelets which substantially simplifies the implementation of the system.
