    摘要: The present invention proposes a new method and apparatus for the improvement of digital filterbanks, by a complex extension of cosine modulated digital filterbanks. The invention employs complex-exponential modulation of a low-pass prototype filter and a new method for optimizing the characteristics of this filter. The invention substantially reduces artifacts due to aliasing emerging from independent modifications of subband signals, for example when using a filterbank as an spectral equalizer. The invention is preferably implemented in software, running on a standard PC or a digital signal processor (DSP), but can also be hardcoded on a custom chip. The invention offers essential improvements for various types of digital equalizers, adaptive filters, multiband companders and spectral envelope adjusting filterbanks used in high frequency reconstruction (HFR) systems.

    摘要: The method involves filtering a low band signal through the analysis part of a digital filter bank and obtaining a set of subband signals. A number of the subband signals are patched from consecutive channels of the filter bank to consecutive channels in the synthesis part of a digital filter bank. Each of the subband signals is patched from a channel with frequency index k to a channel with frequency index j not equal to k. The patched subband signals are adjusted in accordance to a desired spectral envelope. The adjusted subband signals are filtered through the synthesis part of a digital filter bank. An envelope adjusted and frequency translated or folded signal is obtained. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus for enhancement of source coding systems using high-frequency reconstruction techniques.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a new method for enhancement of source coding systems using high-frequency reconstruction. The invention teaches that tonal signals can be classified as either pulse-train-like or non-pulse-train-like. Relying on this classification, significant improvements on the perceived audio quality can be obtained by adaptive switching of transposers. The invention shows that the so-switched transposers must have fundamental differences in their characteristics.
