Abstract
To obtain a high-quality enhanced signal, there is provided an apparatus including a transformer that transforms a mixed signal, in which a first signal and a second signal coexist, into a phase component for each frequency and one of an amplitude component and a power component for each frequency, a change amount generator that generates a change amount of the phase component at a predetermined frequency by using a series of data with a cross-correlation weaker than that of the phase components and randomness lower than that of random numbers, a phase controller that controls the phase component by using the change amount provided from the change amount generator, and an inverse transformer that generates an enhanced signal by using the phase component having undergone control processing by the phase controller.
