CROSS PRODUCT ENHANCED HARMONIC TRANSPOSITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240249739 titled 'CROSS PRODUCT ENHANCED HARMONIC TRANSPOSITION

The present invention involves audio coding systems utilizing a harmonic transposition method for high frequency reconstruction (HFR). It describes a system and method for generating a high frequency component of a signal from a low frequency component.

  • Analysis filter bank provides multiple analysis subband signals of the low frequency component.
  • Non-linear processing unit modifies the phase of two analysis subband signals to generate a synthesis subband signal.
  • Synthesis filter bank generates the high frequency component of the signal from the synthesis subband signal.

Potential Applications: - High-quality audio encoding and decoding systems - Music production and editing software - Telecommunication systems for improved audio transmission

Problems Solved: - Enhancing the quality of high frequency audio components - Efficient reconstruction of high frequency signals from low frequency components

Original Abstract Submitted

the present invention relates to audio coding systems which make use of a harmonic transposition method for high frequency reconstruction (hfr). a system and a method for generating a high frequency component of a signal from a low frequency component of the signal is described. the system comprises an analysis filter bank providing a plurality of analysis subband signals of the low frequency component of the signal. it also comprises a non-linear processing unit to generate a synthesis subband signal with a synthesis frequency by modifying the phase of a first and a second of the plurality of analysis subband signals and by combining the phase-modified analysis subband signals. finally, it comprises a synthesis filter bank for generating the high frequency component of the signal from the synthesis subband signal.
