Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to a digital signal encoding apparatus in which the .[.width of the range in.]. .Iadd.digital signal is divided into frequency components in plural frequency bands and the bandwidth of the frequency bands is .Iaddend.selected to be wider for .[.the.]. higher .[.frequency range.]. .Iadd.frequencies .Iaddend.of the digital .[.signals divided into a plurality of regions.]. .Iadd.signal .Iaddend.and in which the encoded signals are synthesized for the respective .[.ranges.]. .Iadd.frequency bands .Iaddend.wherein encoding is controlled as a function of the output detecting the characteristics of the .Iadd.frequency .Iaddend.components .[.of.]. .Iadd.in .Iaddend.the .[.divided.]. frequency .Iadd.bands .Iaddend.and the detection time interval is selected to be longer for the lower frequency .Iadd.bands .Iaddend.to enable more efficient encoding to be performed as a function of the properties of input digital signals.
