Abstract
A high frequency signal interpolation apparatus provides, with a simple structure, a high-quality digital audio signal through interpolation of high frequency signals missing due to compression. The high frequency signal interpolation apparatus includes a peak value detection and holding circuit configured to detect a peak value of a digital audio signal provided to an input terminal by sampling the digital audio signal and generate a square wave signal by holding the detected peak value; a high-pass filter configured to extract a higher harmonic component from the generated square wave signal; and an adder configured to add the extracted higher harmonic component to the digital audio signal provided to the input terminal.
