- the decorrelation rate of the decorrelation module is modified as a function of this "alpha" coefficient, so that the "alpha" reception quality coefficient is smaller, more the decorrelation rate applied by the decorrelation module is important, and the higher the reception quality rate "alpha", the lower the decorrelation rate applied by the decorrelation module is important.
- the decorrelation module is formed by two elementary blocks at the input of which the signal of its right and the signal of its demodulated left are applied, the output signal of these blocks corresponding respectively to the electrical signal of its optimized right and to the electrical signal of his left optimized, the output signal of each block being the combination of the input signal of the block weighted by a first gain, and the combination of the output signal of the weighted block by a second gain and input signals of the delayed block by a delay line.
- the gain and delay parameters of the elementary blocks are modified.
- the decorrelation rate of the decorrelation module is modified by selecting the parameters corresponding to the reception quality coefficient "alpha".

- the first gain and the second gain have opposite values with respect to each other.
- the gains of the first block and the gains of the second block have opposite values from each other, the value of the first gain of the first block being opposite to the value of the first gain of the second block; while the value of the second gain of the first block is opposite to the value of the second gain of the second block.
- the first gain of the first block and the second gain of the second block have a value g; while the second gain of the first block and the first gain of the second block have a value -g.
- the delays introduced by the delay line of the first elementary block and the delay line of the second elementary block are equal.
- the demodulated right and left signals are first filtered using high pass filters and only the high frequency portion of these signals is input to the decorrelation module.
- the low frequency part thus filtered is delayed by a third delay
- the output signals of each elementary block are filtered (in gain and phase) by means of parametric filtering cells to modify the sound perception of these output signals.
- the output signals of each elementary block are filtered (in gain and phase) by means of parametric filtering cells to modify the sound perception of these output signals.
- the higher frequency part of the optimized sound signal is isolated by means of a first band-pass filter
- a nonlinear processor is applied to the insulated part which creates the high frequency harmonics of the isolated signal to obtain a duplicated signal

- the low frequency part of the right signals S D and left SG is applied at the input of a third delay line 23 and the low frequency parts of the right signals S D and left S G thus delayed are summed respectively with the signals obtained at the outputs of the blocks 9.1, 9.2, so as to obtain the optimized right and left signals SDO and SGO-
- the delay D3 of the third line 23 is 176 (with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).
- the equalizing cells 25.1, 25.2 each comprise a filter whose gain and phase can be adjusted according to different frequency bands of the signals si, s 2 and a gain which acts on the set the spectrum of the signals si, s 2 .
- These gain and phase parameters are adapted by sound engineers in particular according to the intended application.
- the invention makes it possible to recreate a high frequency component of the signals of its right S D o or left SGO which has been suppressed in case of poor reception.
- This aspect of the invention is independent of the technical principle of the creation of the stereo in case of poor reception and could be implemented independently of this principle.
- the signals of its left S G o and right S D o which are formed essentially of a lower frequency component SBF lower than the cutoff frequency fc (see Figure 4a), are each inputted.
- This module 35 comprises a first filter 36 into which the bandpass signal to its left S o G (resp. right S DR) is applied .
- This first filter 36 makes it possible to isolate the part of the highest frequency of the input signal S G o (resp S D o) between a lower bound and an upper bound.
- the upper bound is equal to the cut-off frequency fc
- the lower bound is equal to fc / N, N being preferably 2 or 4.
- the isolated portion Si of the signal obtained at the output of the band-pass filter 36 is shown in Figure 4b.
- the isolated part Si is then applied at the input of a non-linear type processor 38 which makes it possible to duplicate the isolated signal Frequency Si by creating the high frequency harmonics at,, f 2 f f n of this signal S, , which makes it possible to fill the frequency spectrum in the high frequency zone.
- the duplicated signal S D 'thus obtained at the output of the nonlinear processor 38 is shown in FIG. 4c.
- the harmonics of the signal S D ' have an amplitude which decreases with the increase of the frequency.
- the high frequency part of the duplicated signal S D '(without the isolated part Si from which it has been obtained) is then isolated in order to obtain a high frequency component S H F sound signal shown in Figure 4d.
- a bandpass filter 39 having a lower bound and an upper bound is used.
- the lower bound is fc while the upper bound is M.fc, M being for example 2 or 4.
- the signal from its left SGO (resp., Right S D o) restored is filtered using a low-pass filter 41 having a cut-off frequency substantially equal to fc to keep only the low frequency component S BF of the restored signal SGR, S D R.
- the low frequency part S BF is then delayed by a delay D4 by means of a delay cell 42.
- This delay I o D4 is of the order of a few samples.
- the low frequency component S B F is summed with the high frequency component S H F using an adder 44, in order to obtain an optimized left augmented sound signal SQOA (respectively SDOA right). formed of the initial low frequency component S B F of the optimized sound signal and the high frequency component S H F thus created by the method according to the invention.
- a post processing unit 45 modifies the shape of the spectral response of the high frequency component SHF, and gains gs and gg are applied to the high frequency components S H F and low frequency S BF before summation 0 by summator 44.
- the parameters of the filters 36, 39, 41 depend on the coefficient "alpha" of reception quality. Indeed, the filters 36, 39, 41 have terminals that depend on the cutoff frequency fc. Since this cut-off frequency fc depends on the "alpha" coefficient, the terminals 5 also depend on the "alpha” coefficient. There therefore exist a table 47 establishing the correspondence between the reception quality coefficient "alpha" and the associated filter parameters making it possible to generate the high frequency component of the left and right signals.
- the parameters of the post processing cell 45, the nonlinear processor 38, the delay cell 42, and the gains g 8 and gg also preferably depend on the reception quality coefficient "alpha".
- the parameters of the high-frequency generation modules 35 which process the signal of its left S G R and the signal of its right S D R are preferably symmetrical, that is to say that the module 35 which processes the signal of its left S G R presents parameters of the same value as the module 35 which processes the signal of its right S DR .
