LOW-FREQUENCY EMPHASIS FOR LPC-BASED CODING IN FREQUENCY DOMAIN
First Claim
1. Audio encoder for encoding a non-speech audio signal so as to produce therefrom a bitstream, the audio encoder comprising:
- a combination of a linear predictive coding filter comprising a plurality of linear predictive coding coefficients and a time-frequency converter, wherein the combination is configured to filter and to convert a frame of the audio signal into a frequency domain in order to output a spectrum based on the frame and on the linear predictive coding coefficients;
a low frequency emphasizer configured to calculate a processed spectrum based on the spectrum, wherein spectral lines of the processed spectrum representing a lower frequency than a reference spectral line are emphasized;
a control device configured to control the calculation of the processed spectrum by the low frequency emphasizer depending on the linear predictive coding coefficients of the linear predictive coding filter;
a quantization device configured to produce a quantized spectrum based on the processed spectrum;
and a bitstream producer configured to embed the quantized spectrum and the linear predictive coding coefficients into the bitstream.
