TIME DOMAIN ALIASING REDUCTION FOR NON-UNIFORM FILTERBANKS WHICH USE SPECTRAL ANALYSIS FOLLOWED BY PARTIAL SYNTHESIS

摘要

An audio processor for processing an audio signal to acquire a subband representation thereof includes a cascaded lapped critically sampled transform stage and a time domain aliasing reduction stage, the former being configured to perform a cascaded lapped critically sampled transform on at least two partially overlapping blocks of samples of the audio signal, to acquire a set of subband samples on the basis of a first block of samples of the audio signal, and to acquire a corresponding set of subband samples on the basis of a second block of samples of the audio signal. The latter is configured to perform a weighted combination of two corresponding sets of subband samples, which are acquired on the basis of the first and second blocks of samples of the audio signal, respectively, to acquire an aliasing reduced subband representation of the audio signal.
