METHOD AND APPARATUS TO ENCODE AND/OR DECODE SIGNAL USING BANDWIDTH EXTENSION TECHNOLOGY

摘要

A method and apparatus to perform bandwidth extension encoding and decoding encodes and/or decodes a high frequency signal using an excitation signal for a low frequency signal encoded in a time domain or a frequency domain or using an excitation spectrum for the low frequency signal. Accordingly, although an audio signal is encoded or decoded using a small number of bits, the quality of sound corresponding to a signal in a high frequency band does not degrade. Therefore, a coding efficiency of the audio signal can be maximized.
