Abstract

An information encoder for encoding an information signal includes: a converter for converting the linear prediction coefficients of the predictive polynomial A(z) to frequency values f1 . . . fn of a spectral frequency representation of the predictive polynomial A(z), wherein the converter is configured to determine the frequency values f1 . . . fn by analyzing a pair of polynomials P(z) and Q(z) being defined as wherein m is an order of the predictive polynomial A(z) and I is greater or equal to zero, wherein the converter is configured to obtain the frequency values by establishing a strictly real spectrum derived from P(z) and a strictly imaginary spectrum from Q(z) and by identifying zeros of the strictly real spectrum derived from P(z) and the strictly imaginary spectrum derived from Q(z).
