ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns digital audio precompensation, and particularly the design of digital precompensation filters. The invention proposes an audio precompensation filter design scheme that uses a novel class of design criteria. Briefly, filter parameters are determined based on a weighting between, on one hand, approximating the precompensation filter to a fixed, non-zero filter component and, on the other hand, approximating the precompensated model response to a reference system response. For design purposes, the precompensation filter is preferably regarded as being additively decomposed into a fixed, non-zero component and an adjustable compensator component. The fixed component is normally configured by the filter designer, whereas the adjustable compensator component is determined by optimizing a criterion function involving the above weighting. The weighting can be made frequency- and/or channel-dependent to provide a very powerful tool for effectively controlling the extent and amount of compensation to be performed in different frequency regions and/or in different channels.
