Abstract

A frequency band expansion device includes processing circuitry to calculate a weighting coefficient based on a frequency gradient of the input signal; to generate a white noise signal; to generate a first white noise signal by performing filtering on the white noise signal; to generate a second white noise signal by regulating a phase characteristic of the white noise signal; to generate a third white noise signal by performing weighted addition on the first white noise signal and the second white noise signal by using the weighting coefficient; and to generate the output signal by adding together the input signal and a signal corresponding to the third white noise signal, wherein the processing circuitry is configured so that the phase characteristic of the second white noise signal becomes the same as the phase characteristic of the first white noise signal.
