An audio encoder performs frequency extension coding that comprises determining one or more shape parameters using a displacement vector that corresponds to a displacement of an even number (e.g., an even number of sub-bands between a sub-band in a baseband frequency range and a sub-band in an extended-band frequency range). The shape parameters can be determined on a per-audio-block basis. Restricting a displacement to an even number (in frequency extension coding or in other signal modulation schemes) can improve the quality of reconstructed audio. An audio encoder also can perform frequency extension coding that comprises determining one or more scale parameters at one or more audio blocks, and determining one or more anchor points for interpolating the one or more scale parameters.
