Abstract

See full text

A method for encoding and decoding a digital audio signal composed of an original right-hand signal (SDO) and an original left-hand signal (SGO). The method combines the original right-hand signal (SDO) and the original left-hand signal (SGO) to obtain a single combined signal (SC), encodes the combined signal (SC) using a standard encoder to obtain a compressed combined signal (SCC), and decodes the compressed combined signal (SCC) using a standard decoder (8) to obtain a decompressed combined signal (SCD). After decoding, the method generates a reconstructed right-hand signal (SDR) and a reconstructed left-hand signal (SGR) from the decompressed combined signal (SCD), which are de-correlated from each other. Also, a treble-generating module enables the high-frequency component (SHF) of the right-hand (SDR) or left-hand (SGR) signals to be recreated, which signals had been deleted as a result of the compression.
