Abstract
An audio signal is decomposed into lower and upper sub-band and at least the noise component of the sub-band is encoded. At the decoder the audio signal is synthesised by a decoding means which utilises a synthesised noise excitation signal and a filter to reproduce the noise component in the upper sub-band.
