ABSTRACT:
Acoustic signal encoder is provided which comprises a subband filter band to divide an original signal into a plurality of frequency bands, a spectrum transformation circuit to detect the amplitude of a signal in each of the plurality of frequency bands in each of sub-blocks resulted by division of a block length for signal coding, process the signal amplitude in each band based on the detected amplitude and transform the signals divided in the frequency bans to spectra, a normalizing circuit and quantizing circuit to normalize and quantize the spectrum, respectively, and a code row generator to generate a code row from the signals processed by the above circuits.
