Abstract

The present invention proposes a new method and a new apparatus for enhancement of audio source coding systems utilizing high frequency reconstruction (HFR). It utilizes adaptive filtering to reduce artifacts due to different tonal characteristics in different frequency ranges of an audio signal upon which HFR is performed. Tie present invention is applicable to both speech coding and natural audio coding systems.
