Spectral Band Replication 대역폭에 따른 MPEG USAC 부호화 성능 평가

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper deals with the effect of SBR bandwidth on the overall performance of the MPEG USAC. Here, the SBR bandwidth is termed the frequency region covered by the SBR codec, and is specified by the bs_stop_freq, which is one of the SBR bitstream components. The performance of the USACs with 5 different SBR bandwidths are compared in a subjective manner using the MUSHRA test. In the comparison, the bit rate is confined to 14~24kbps and only the LPD unit is selected for the core codec. From the comparison, it is observed that the SBR bandwidth that stretches up to 18KHz or above gives the better performance than the others.
