Abstract
In an audio transmission system, an input signal is split up into two spectral portions in a transmitter. These spectral portions are coded by their own respective coder. The low-frequency signal portion is coded by a regular narrow-band coder and the high frequency portion is coded using a coder that outputs LPC codes and signal amplitude codes. In the receiver, the low frequency signal portion is reconstructed by a narrow-band decoder and the high frequency portion is reconstructed by applying a high pass filter to a white noise signal and applying an LPC filter that is controlled by the LPC codes to this filtered white noise signal and adjusting the signal amplitude with an amplifier that is controlled using the amplitude codes of the transmitter. The reconstructed low frequency signal and the reconstructed high frequency signal are then combined to yield a reconstructed output signal containing both frequency ranges.
