Information Theory Applied to Audio Signal Processing/Broadcasting

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the application of Information Theory to audio signal processing and broadcasting. Participants share resources, including Shannon's original paper and the book "Elements of Information Theory" by Cover and Thomas, as foundational texts. They explore concepts like entropy coding, noting that while Huffman coding is not typically used in audio compression, Rice coding is relevant in formats like FLAC. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these coding techniques in the context of audio signals. Overall, the thread highlights the intersection of Information Theory and audio processing methodologies.

I'm looking for an appllication of Information Theory applied to processing/broadcasting of an audio signal, but i have no idea.
Do you know any books where i can look for this subject?
Thank you in advance.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Here's Shannon's original paper:
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/ms/what/shannonday/shannon1948.pdf

The methodology was developed to characterize signals on transmission lines, so I suppose it could be applied to audio signals.

But I'm thinking you have something else in mind. Can you elucidate?

When I wrote last message I did not have any idea.
But, lookinf for on books about audio signal processing i found an a grest part called (entropy coding). Entropy is in of the most important concept in information theory and so, I'm studing what this type of coding reale with.

Thanks for tour suggestions.
 
The bible of InfoTheory is:
Elements of Information Theory by Thomas M. Cover and Joy A. Thomas (2nd ed, Jul 18, 2006)
but I would suggest a wander through wikipedia "Information Theory" and its links for a start.

I'm not sure that entropy codes, like Huffman, are used in audio compression but you may find something of interest anyway.
 
You are right.
Huffman code is not used in audio coding.
But, Rice code belongs to that category like Huffman one, is used to obtain FLAC format after a particular use of a linear precition filter.
If you are interested, look at Wikipedia page about FLAC.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
