Abstract

A bandwidth extension encoder for encoding an audio signal comprises a signal analyzer, a core encoder and a parameter calculator. The audio signal comprises a low frequency signal comprising a core frequency band and a high frequency signal comprising an upper frequency band. The signal analyzer is configured for analyzing the audio signal, the audio signal having a block of audio samples, the block having a specified length in time. The signal analyzer is furthermore configured for determining from a plurality of analysis windows an analysis window to be used for performing a bandwidth extension in a bandwidth extension decoder. The core encoder is configured for encoding the low frequency signal to obtain an encoded or frequency signal. The parameter calculator is configured for calculating bandwidth extension parameters from the high frequency signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to audio signal processing, in particular to a bandwidth extension encoder, a method for encoding an audio signal, a bandwidth extension decoder, a method for decoding an encoded audio signal, a phase vocoder and an audio signal. [0002] Furthermore, embodiments of the invention relate to the use of phase vocoders for pure time extension independent of bandwidth extension. Background technique [0003] The storage or transmission of audio signals is usually strictly limited by the bit rate. These constraints are usually due to the fact that coders / decoders (codecs) efficiently compress audio signals according to the information rate required to store or transmit the signal. In the past, encoders had to rapidly reduce audio bandwidth when only very low bit rates were available. Modern audio codecs are able to encode wideband signals by using the bandwidth extension (BWE) method, such as M.Dietz, L.Liljeryd, K. "Spectra...
