Digital signal conditioner system
One example includes a digital signal conditioner (DSC) system. A sample selector bank receives a digital sample block of an input signal that is provided at a supported input oversampling factor and selects a subset of samples from the digital sample block based on a selection signal. A tap weights selector bank generates a set of tap weights based on the selection signal. A filter bank receives the subset of the samples from each of the sample selectors and a respective set of tap weights. Each filter provides a weighted sample associated with the respective subset of samples and the respective set of tap weights. A reformattor receives the weighted sample from each of the filters and provides a filtered sample block including the weighted sample from a subset of the filters at an output oversampling factor for each supported input oversampling factor based on a selected supported resampling ratio.

METHOD FOR REDUCTION OF ALIASING INTRODUCED BY SPECTRAL ENVELOPE ADJUSTMENT IN REAL-VALUED FILTERBANKS
The present invention proposes a new method for improving the performance of a real-valued filterbank based spectral envelope adjuster. By adaptively locking the gain values for adjacent channels dependent on the sign of the channels, as defined in the application, reduced aliasing is achieved. Furthermore, the grouping of the channels during gain-calculation, gives an improved energy estimate of the real valued subband signals in the filterbank.
