Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1564723A1] A two-way conversion transcoder comprising a spectrum parameter calculation circuit (100) that calculates a spectrum parameter for a signal x(n) produced by decoding a first code; a coefficient calculation circuit (130) that receives the spectrum parameter and converts it to the coefficients of a band extended signal, a noise generation circuit (120) that outputs a band-limited noise signal, a gain circuit (140) that multiplies the output signal of the noise generation circuit by a gain, a synthesis filter circuit (170) that receives the output signal from the noise generation circuit (120) and the coefficients from the coefficient calculation circuit (130) and outputs a high frequency signal y(n) for band extension, a sampling frequency conversion circuit (180) that outputs a signal s(n) generated by up-sampling the signal x(n) to a predetermined sampling frequency, an adder (190) that adds up a high-frequency signal y(n) and the signal s(n) to form a band extended signal z(n), and a second encoding circuit (195) that encodes the band extended signal z(n) by a second encoding method and outputs the encoded signal. <IMAGE>
