ENCODING DEVICE, DECODING DEVICE, AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Provided is an encoding device which improves the sound quality of a stereo signal while maintaining a low bit rate. The encoding device includes: an LP inverse filter (121) which LP-inverse-filterS a left signal L(n) by using an inverse quantization linear prediction coefficient AdM(z) of a monaural signal; a T/F conversion unit (122) which converts the left sound source signal Le(n) from a temporal region to a frequency region; an inverse quantizer (123) which inverse-quantizes encoded information Mqe; spectrum division units (124, 125) which divide a high-frequency component of the sound source signal Mde(f) and the left signal Le(f) into a plurality of bands; and scale factor calculation units (126, 127) which calculate scale factors ai and ßi by using a monaural sound source signal Mdeh,i(f), a left sound source signal Leh,i(f), Mdeh,i(f), and right sound source signal Reh,i(f) of each divided band.
