ABSTRACT:
Transmitter, encoding system and method for subband coding a digital signal. The encoding system includes a splitter for dividing the digital signal into subband signals SB.sub.1, . . . , SB.sub.M ; a quantizer unit for quantizing time-equivalent q sample signal blocks of the subband signals; a bit need determiner and a bit allocator. The bit need determiner determines a bit need b.sub.m which corresponds to the number of bits by which the q samples in a time-equivalent signal block in a subband signal SB.sub.m should be represented, where 1.ltoreq.m.ltoreq.M. The bit allocator allocates n.sub.m bits to each of the q samples of the time-equivalent signal block of subband signal SB.sub.m on the basis of the bit need b.sub.m and an available bit quantity B, n.sub.m being the number of bits by which the q samples in the time-equivalent signal block of subband signal SB.sub.m will actually be represented, where 1.ltoreq.m.ltoreq.M.
