Modified multiband excitation model at 2400 bps

چکیده
This paper presents the Modi ed Multiband Excitation Model used for speech coding. In many MBE model coders, speech quality is degraded when incorrect voicing decisions are made, particularly for high-pitched female speakers. The MMBE addresses this issue with a modi ed voiced/unvoiced decision algorithm and a more robust pitch estimate. The listening quality of speech produced using the MMBE model is superior to the FS-1016 CELP coder and is at least comparable with the new 2400 bps MELP coder chosen as the new 2400 bps Federal Standard.

A 1200 bps speech coder with LSF matrix quantization
A new 1200 bps speech coder designed with a tree searched multistage matrix quantization scheme is proposed. To improve speech quality and reduce the average bit rate, we have developed a new residual multistage matrix quantization method with the joint design technique. The new joint design algorithm reduces the codebook training complexity. Other new techniques for improving the performance i...
متن کاملA comparison of the new 2400 bps MELP Federal Standard with other standard coders
In 1996, the U.S. Department of Defense Digital Voice Processing Consortium (DDVPC) selected Texas Instrument’s mixed excitation linear prediction (MELP) algorithm as the recommended new federal standard for 2400 bps voice communications. The algorithm selection process involved quality, intelligibility, communicability, and recognizability testing in many acoustic noise, error, and tandem cond...
متن کاملSpeech coding using trajectory compression and multiple sensors
This paper presents a new method of multi-frame speech coding based upon polynomial approximation of speech feature trajectories incorporating multiple sensor signals from microphones, accelerometer, electro-glottograph, and microradar. The trajectory polynomial approximation exploits the inter-frame information redundancy encountered in natural speech. The trajectory method is applicable to fe...

The United States government has developed a new Federal Standard 2400 bps vocoding algorithm called MELP Mixed Excitation Linear Prediction [1]. This vocoder has very acceptable voice quality under benign error-free channel conditions. However, when subjected to high error conditions as could be experienced in tactical vehicular operations, amelioration techniques may be employed which take ad...

The equations-of-motion for the density matrix are derived in a multiband model to describe the response of semiconductors (bulk or quantum well structures) under optical excitation with arbitrary polarization. The multiband model used, comprising the twofold conduction band and the fourfold topmost valence band (or heavy-and light-hole states), incorporates spin-splitting of the single-particl...
