Spectra of Vocoder Channel Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
A channel vocoder derives the short time magnitude spectrum of speech by passing the speech through a set of analyzing channels, each consisting of a band pass filter followed by an envelope detector and a low pass filter. Each channel produces a slowly varying output signal which represents a short term average of the speech energy in the corresponding frequency band. The measurement of the power spectra of these signals is described herein. It appears that these signals may be thought of as band limited to 25 cps. Accepted for the Air Force Franklin C.

Decomposition of Speech Signals into Their Modulated Components to Use in Vocoder
This work presents a simple variation of VOCODER based on two concepts: the formants and the modulated components of the speech signals. The suggested codification method extracts the modulated components (instantaneous amplitudes and frequencies), to be transmitted through a channel. We show the advantages of the proposed technique through comparison to other codification methods.
متن کاملUsing FFI Interpolator and VQ Quantization for Designing of High Quality 1200 BPS Speech Vocoder
Storaging or transmission of speech signals at very low bit rate is a hot area in the field of speech processing. We used stochastic inter-frame interpolators and vector quantization (VQ) as a new method for developing a high quality 1200 BPS speech vocoder. The objective and subjecgtive test results show that performance of the new vocoder is compairable with 4800 BPS standard vocoders (as CELP).

متن کاملPhonetic cues are weighted differently when spectral resolution is degraded
Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that listeners would modify perceptual strategies for phonetic identification if the spectrum of a speech signal was degraded. The contrasts between tense and lax vowels and between word-final s/z were selected because of the primacy of spectral cues and redundancy of temporal cues used in normal listening situations. In the first experiment...
متن کاملPhase-locked Vocoder 1. Phase Vocoder
The phase vocoder is widely used to provide high-delity time stretching or contraction of audio signals such as speech or monophonic musical passages. Two problems bedevil the re-constructive phase of this technique. First, the frequency estimate is usually multi-valued and one does not know how to choose which of the possible frequencies given by the analysis to use in resynthesis. Second, a s...
