Problems solved by technology

The second reason is that MDCT is a real-valued transform, and this makes phase adjustment or rotation practically impossible
attached figure 1 The disadvantage of the algorithm illustrated in is that, in addition to the base layer decoder, a complex-exponentially modulated filter bank is used, which is expensive both computationally and in terms of storage
The SBR algorithm proposed for mp3 suffers from the same shortcoming

Embodiment Construction

[0027] A typical conventional MPEG-1 layer III encoder (not shown) is arranged to receive a PCM input signal comprising a stream or frame of 1152 audio input samples. The input signal is supplied to a polyphase analysis filter bank which filters the input signal into 32 evenly spaced overlapping frequency bands to produce 32 downsampled subband signal components, each comprising 36 subband samples.

[0028] For each subband signal component, a windowed (forward) MDCT (Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) is performed. Four window types are used to cater for variable time segments. For (quasi-)stationary parts of the signal, so-called normal windows can be used, whereas, for non-stationary parts of the signal, a series of so-called short windows can be used. Two short types of windows (so-called start and stop windows) are defined to prevent discontinuities when switching from normal windows to short windows and vice versa. For normal, start and stop windows, MDCT is performed...

Abstract

A decoder particularly, but not exclusively, for MPEG-1 layer III data signals, in which recovered spectral coefficients are transformed into time domain signal components, the time domain signal components then being transformed, using a forward transform which is orthogonally modulated with respect to the forward transform that was used at the encoder, to produce a set of second spectral coefficients. In this way, the first and second spectral coefficients may be used as complex-valued spectral coefficients which are amenable to post-processing. In the preferred embodiment, the complex-valued frequency components are, after post-processing, transformed to the time domain using an odd-frequency modulated Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to audio signal coding. The present invention relates particularly, but not exclusively, to decoding MPEG-1 Layer III data signals. Background technique [0002] MPEG-1 Layer III (commonly known as mp3) is a widely adopted audio codec. mp3 is introduced in ISO / IEC JTC1 / SC29 / WG11 MPEG, IS11172-3, Information Technology-Coding of Moving Pictures and Associated Audio for DigitalStorage Media at up to about 1.5Mbit / s, Part3: Audio, MPEG-1, 1992 industry standard. This standard is available from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (www.iso.ch) and is incorporated herein by reference. [0003] Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) has been devised to address some of the shortcomings of mp3. The AAC standard is introduced in ISO / IEC JTC1 / SC29 / WG11 MPEG, IS13818-3, Information Technology-Generic Coding of Moving Pictures and Associated Audio, Part3: Audio, MPEG-2, 1994, which is also available from ISO. [0004] As part of...
