    摘要: A process for simultaneous transmission of signals from N signal sources via a corresponding number of transmission channels, in which the individual signals are divided into blocks and the blocks are transformed into spectral coefficients by transformation or filtering, the spectral coefficients undergoing a data reduction process. The blocks belonging to the individual signals are divided into sections. The respective current sections of all signals are processed simultaneously. The permissible interference for each section is determined utilizing a perception-specific model, and a request of currently required overall transmission capacity is calculated. The allotment of maximum transmission capacity at disposal for each individual signal is calculated from the overall transmission capacity at disposal and the currently required overall transmission capacity. Each signal is coded and transmitted with the thus determined capacity.

    摘要: A digital adaptive transformation coding method for the transmission and/ortorage of audio signals, specifically music signals, wherein N scanned values of the audio signal are transformed into M spectral coefficients, and the coefficients are split up into frequency groups, quantized and then coded. The quantized maximum value of each frequency group is used to define the coarse variation of the spectrum. The same number of bits is assigned to all values in a frequency group. The bits are assigned to the individual frequency groups as a function of the quantized maximum value present in the particular frequency group. A multi-signal processor system is disclosed which is specifically designed for implementation of this method.

    摘要: In a method for the cascaded coding and decoding of audio data the spectral components of the short-time spectrum associated with a data block are formed for each data block with a certain number of time input data, the coded signal is formed, by quantization and coding, on the basis of the spectral components for this data block and using a psycho-acoustic model to determine the bit distribution for the spectral components, whereupon time output data are obtained by decoding at the end of each codec stage.To prevent a deterioration in the sound quality in codec cascades with a plurality of stages, an identification code is added to the coded signal at an initial stage to mark the start of the data block; furthermore, the subsequent codec stages divide the data blocks to be coded on the basis of this identification code.

    摘要: In a method for coding an audio signal digitized at a low sampling rate to obtain time domain audio samples. A frequency domain representation of the time domain audio samples is produced. The frequency domain representation includes successive frequency lines. These frequency lines are grouped into a plurality of scale factor bands. The successive frequency lines in a scale factor band are coded with the same scale factor. A plurality of regions is formed by grouping the scale factor bands, wherein successive scale factor bands form a region within which all the scale factors are coded with the same number of bits, which is determined according to the largest scale factor of the region. The scale factors assigned to scale factor bands within the highest region that includes the higher frequency successive frequency lines are set to zero. The frequency lines in the highest region are coded using the zero-valued scale factors that correspond to a multiplication factor of 1. The scale factors for the highest region, however, are not coded. Thus, the bits that would be required for coding these zero-valued scale factors are saved and can be used for a finer quantization of the rest of the spectrum. Additionally, this coding method when applied to ISO/IEC 13818-3 as a low sampling rate modification thereof only requires minimal changes with respect to this Standard.

    摘要: In a method for estimating a non-linear characteristic of an amplifier, an input signal is provided, a reference signal is determined based on the power of the input signal, the input signal is amplified using said amplifier in order to produce an amplified signal, a measurement signal is determined based on the power of the amplified signal and respective samples of the measurement signal are associated with respective samples of the reference signal. A gain value of said amplifier for each sample is determined from the respective samples of the reference signal and the measurement signal. An operating range of the amplifier is divided into a plurality of power sections and an averaged gain value is produced for each power section. Thereafter, a measure of the deviation of the gain values associated with a power section from said averaged gain value is determined. Then, averaged gain values are rejected which have a measure of the deviation which exceeds a predetermined threshold. Finally, an interpolation is performed using averaged gain values which have not been rejected in order to produce an estimation of said non-linear characteristic of said amplifier.

    摘要: A method for coding or decoding an audio signal combines the advantages of TNS processing and noise substitution. A time-discrete audio signal is initially transformed to the frequency domain in order to obtain spectral values of the temporal audio signal. Subsequently, a prediction of the spectral values in relation to frequency is carried out in order to obtain spectral residual values. Within the spectral residual values, areas are detected encompassing spectral residual values with noise properties. The spectral residual values in the noise areas are noise-substituted, whereupon information concerning the noise areas and noise substitution is incorporated into side information pertaining to a coded audio signal. Thus, considerable bit savings in case of transient signals can be achieved.

    摘要: A method of coding stereo audio spectral values first carries out grouping of those values in scale factor bands, with which scale factors are associated. Sections are formed next, each comprising at least one scale factor band. The spectral values are coded within at least one section with a code book assigned to the section, out of a plurality of code books each with a code book number assigned to it, the number of the code book used being transmitted as side information to the coded stereo audio spectral values. At least one additional code book number is provided, which does not refer to a code book but shows information relevant to the section to which it is assigned. A method of decoding stereo audio spectral values which are partly coded by the intensity stereo process and which have side information uses the relevant information, showing the additional code book numbers, to cancel the existing coding of the stereo audio spectral values.
