SPEECH FROM NARROW-BANDWIDTH SPEECH Carlos Avendano, Hynek Hermansky, and Eric A. Wan Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics P.O. Box 91000, Portland, OR 97291 ABSTRACT A new technique is presented which improves the subjective quality of band-limited speech. The approach is based on a linear model of speech production, in which we independently estimate the spectral envelope and excitation function for a broad-bandwidth speech signal to reconstruct missing frequency components in narrow-bandwidth speech.

Bandwidth expansion of narrowband speech using non-negative matrix factorization
In this paper, we present a novel technique for the estimation of the high frequency components (4-8kHz) of speech signals from narrow-band (0-4 kHz) signals using convolutive Non-Negative Matrix Factorisation (NMF). The proposed technique utilizes a brief recording of simultaneous broad band and narrow band signals from a target speaker to learn a set of broad-band non-negative "bases" for the...

Wideband FM : Transmitted with deviation ratio of 5/1, ( +90kHz ), but the final filtered audio has a 15kHz bandwidth. Phase Locked Loop: Used to track a signal in a wide noise bandwidth to yield a signal with a low noise bandwidth. DSSS Chip Rate ( broadband )/ Signal BW ( narrow ) is called processing gain. 1.25 Mb/s chip rate and 12.5 kHz audio filter yields a "processing gain" of 100/1 Corr...
متن کاملImproving Sound Quality by Bandwidth Extension
In recent telecommunications system uses a limited audio signal bandwidth of 300 to 3400 Hz. In recent times it has been proposed that the mobile phone networks with increased audio signal bandwidth of 50Hz-7 KHz will increase the sound quality of the speech signal. In this paper, a method extending the conventional narrow frequency band speech signals into a wideband speech signals for improve...
متن کاملHigh-level psychophysical tuning curves: simultaneous masking with different noise bandwidths.
Simultaneous-masked psychophysical tuning curves were measured with narrow-band noise maskers varying in bandwidth from 40 Hz to 800 Hz to determine the masker bandwidths at which combination-band detection cues no longer influence tuning-curve shapes. Tuning curves were obtained at 1000 and 4000 Hz from normal-hearing listeners using high-level (60 dB SPL) probe tones in quiet and in the prese...
متن کاملBandwidth Extension of Speech Signals: A Comprehensive Review
Telephone systems commonly transmit narrowband (NB) speech with an audio bandwidth limited to the traditional telephone band of 300-3400 Hz. To improve the quality and intelligibility of speech degraded by narrow bandwidth, researchers have tried to standardize the telephonic networks by introducing wideband (50-7000 Hz) speech codecs. Wideband (WB) speech transmission requires the transmission...
