+The CELT part of Opus is based on the Modified Discrete Cosine Transform
+<xref target='MDCT'/> with partially overlapping windows of 5 to 22.5 ms.
+The main principle behind CELT is that the MDCT spectrum is divided into
+bands that (roughly) follow the Bark scale, i.e. the scale of the ear's
+critical bands. There are 21 of those bands. In each band, the gain (energy) is coded separately from
+the shape of the spectrum. Coding the gain explicitly makes it easy to
+preserve the spectral envelope of the signal. The remaining unit-norm shape
+vector is encoded using a pyramid vector quantizer <xref target='PVQ-decoder'/>.

+<t>Using multiple smaller MDCTs instead of a large MDCT</t>
+<t>Dynamic time-frequency changes (See <xref target='tf-change'/>)</t>
+</list>
+To improve quality on highly tonal and periodic signals, CELT includes
+a prefilter/postfilter combination. The prefilter on the encoder side
+attenuates the signal's harmonics. The postfilter on the decoder size,
+restores the original gain of the harmonics, while shaping the coding noise
+to roughly follow the harmonics. Such noise shaping reduces the perception
+of the noise.
