In [[signal processing]], '''sub-band coding''' ('''SBC''') is any form of [[transform coding]] that breaks a signal into a number of different [[frequency band]]s, typically by using a [[fast Fourier transform]], and encodes each one independently. This decomposition is often the first step in data compression for audio and video signals.
 
SBC is the core technique used in many popular [[lossy audio compression]] algorithms including [[MP3]].
