AMR WB internal Sampling Frequency 12.8 kHz?

Started by Nishit Jain October 10, 2006
Hi All!

Can anybody tell me what is the reason for using the internal sampling frequency in the AMR WB codec as 12.8kHz and not the actual input sampling frequency of the input signal, 16kHz?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
AMR-WB treats band width 50 Hz-6.4 kHz and 6.4 kHz-7 kHz
differently and hence uses internal sampling frequency of 12.8 kHz.

Hi there,

I would add to this that the lower band ( < 6400Hz) is coded using the
CELP (or ACELP more precisely) which is hybrid coder (a
waveform/parametric coder), while the upper band (6400< f < 7000Hz) is
generated at the decoder side using bandwidth extention. Since the
upper band is mostly a modulated noise, it is more efficient to
concentrate the available bits to encode the lower band.
Why exactly 12800Hz, because it makes the implementation of the
interopolation filter simpler: 12800/16000 = 4/5.
regards
