How can we prove using matlab that after each level of decomposition of a signal using DWT the frequency content is halved?

I was trying to decompose an EMG signal, which was sampled at 200 Hz, into 7 levels of decomposition using DWT. And the result is shown in the figure( only up to level 3 is shown here) However, I ...

Why do we decompose signals to even and odd

I was learning the decomposition of a signal into one even signal and one odd signal: $$x(t) = x_{e}(t)+x_{o}(t)$$ with $$x_{e}(t) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [x(t)+x(-t)]$$ and $$x_{o}(t) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [...
