QMF bank. The outputs from the filter bank are complex-valued sub-band signals. The sub-band signals are fed to an envelope estimator and various detectors. The outputs from the detectors and the envelope estimator are assembled into the SBR data stream. The data is subsequently using entropy coding and, in the case of multichannel signals, also channel-redundancy coding. The coded SBR data and a bitrate control signal are then supplied to the core encoder. The SBR encoder interacts closely with the core encoder. Information is exchanged between the systems in order to, for example, determine the optimal cutoff frequency between the core coder and the SBR band. The core coder finally multiplexes the SBR data stream into the combined bitstream [15]. Block diagram of the SBR decoder: figure 5: Block diagram of the SBR decoder [15] Figure 5 illustrates the layout of the SBR enhanced decoder. The received bitstream is divided into two parts: the core coder bitstream and the SBR data stream. The core bitstream is decoded by the core decoder, and the output audio signal, typically of lowpass character, is forwarded to the SBR decoder together with the SBR data stream. The core audio signal, sampled at half the frequency of the original signal, is first filtered in the analysis QMF bank. The filter bank splits the time domain signal into 32 sub-band signals. The output from the filter bank, i.e. the signals, are complex-valued and thus oversampled by a factor of two compared to a regular QMF bank [15]. SUBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE OF G.719 Subjective tests for the ITU-T G.719 Optimization/Characterization phase were performed from mid February through early April 2008 by independent listening laboratories in American English. According to a test plan designed by ITU-T Q7/SG12 [23] experts, the joint candidate codec conducted two experiments as follows:
