When re-quantize a signal of low levels, serious distortion may occur due to word length reduction. Adding proper dither before re-quantization can improve the quantization error characteristic, while it will increase overall noise. By applying noise shaping, transposing most of the noise power to the band which human ear is less sensitive can reduce audible noise and thus improve auditory sense. This paper firstly discussed the applications of dither and noise shaping in professional digital audio, according to human ear’s psychoacoustic properties, by adopting genetic algorithm, fulfilled the design of psycho-acoustically optimal noise shaping filter. Then it applied the noise shaping technology to upsampling processing, realized the optimal noise shaping filter design under oversampling condition. Finally, it performed algorithm simulation on mat lab platform. Actual listening test confirms that by combining noise shaping technology with upsampling technology, sound quality can be improved significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
