The low-delay audio signal coding system using, analysis-by-synthesis techniques comprises means (AFC, AFD) for adapting the spectral parameters and the prediction order of synthesis filters (SYC SYD) in the, coder (CDA, CDB) and decoder (DA DB), and of perceptual, weighting filters (FP) in the coder at each frame starting from the reconstructed signal relevant to the previous frame. In the case of a CELP coder means (AGC, AGD) are also provided to adapt starting from the, reconstructed signal a factor, bound to the average, power of the input signal of the gain by which the, innovation vectors are weighted. (Fig. 2).

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 30, 1993 and granted February 25, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 30, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 30, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
