Method and apparatus for transforming between different filter bank domains

Abstract

Filter banks may have different structures and different individual output signal domains. Often a translation between different filter bank domains is desirable. Usually, mapping matrices are used that, however, vary over frequency. This requires a significant amount of lookup tables. A method for transforming first data frames of a first filter bank domain to second data frames of a different second filter bank domain, comprises steps of transcoding sub-bands of the first filter bank domain into sub-bands of an intermediate domain that corresponds to said second filter bank domain but has warped phase, and transcoding the sub-bands of the intermediate domain to sub-bands of the second filter bank domain, wherein a phase correction is performed on the sub-bands of the intermediate domain.
