IMPROVED EXCITATION SIGNAL BANDWIDTH EXTENSION

摘要

An apparatus for generating a high band extension of a low band excitation signal (eLB) defined by parameters representing a CELP encoded audio signal includes the following elements: upsamplers (20) configured to upsample a low band fixed codebook vector (uFCB) and a low band adaptive codebook vector (uACB) to a predetermined sampling frequency. A frequency shift estimator (22) configured to determine a modulation frequency (Ω) from an estimated measure representing a fundamental frequency (F0) of the audio signal. A modulator (24) configured to modulate the upsampled low band adaptive codebook vector (uACB↑) with the determined modulation frequency to form a frequency shifted adaptive codebook vector. A compression factor estimator (28) configured to estimate a compression factor. A compressor (34) configured to attenuate the frequency shifted adaptive codebook vector and the upsampled fixed codebook vector (uFCB↑.) based on the estimated compression factor. A combiner (40) configured to form a high-pass filtered sum of the attenuated frequency shifted adaptive codebook vector and the attenuated up-sampled fixed codebook vector.
