Method and apparatus for encoding audio signals divided into a plurality of frequency bands

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a digital signal encoding apparatus in which the digital signal is divided into frequency components in plural frequency bands and the bandwidth of the frequency bands is.Iaddend.
PatentDOI

High efficiency encoding device and a noise spectrum modifying device and method

TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus and method for processing an input digital signal in which an audio signal at an input terminal 11 is supplied via a one-block delay unit 17 to a difference unit 20, an output of which is processed by a noise-shaping circuit 21 and restored by a near-instantaneous compressor 26, a nearinstantic expander 27 and an accumulator 28 so as to be fed back to the difference unit to find a difference between a signal of a directly preceding sample and a signal in the current sample.
Patent

Noise shaping circuit

TL;DR: In this article, a spectrum analysis circuit is constituted of a spectrum conversion circuit, a noise spectrum setting circuit, and a coefficient arithmetic circuit, where the coefficient of a noise filter is controlled by a coefficient control signal in response to the permitted noise spectrum obtained at every critical band of the input signal outputted from the coefficient arithmetic circuits.
Patent

High efficient encoder and noise spectrum changing device and method

TL;DR: In this article, a digital audio signal from an input terminal 11 is transmitted through one block delay 17 to a difference 20, and an output from the difference 20 is restored through a noise shaping adding circuit 21, semi-instantaneous compressor 26, semi instantaneous expander 27, and accumulator 28.
Patent

Moise shaping of differntially encoded and compressed audiosignals

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and method for processing the input digital signal is disclosed, where an input digital audio signal at an input terminal 11 is supplied via a one-block delay unit 17 to a difference unit 20, an output of which is processed by an annexed noise-shaping circuit 21 and restored by a nearinstantaneous compressor 26, a near-instantaneously expander 27 and an accumulator 28 so as to be fed back to the difference unit20 to find a difference between a signal of a directly preceding sample and the signal of the current sample.
