Summary:
In this paper, we study a new hybrid speech coder which employs a modified version of the harmonic sinusoidal analysis to encode the periodic contents of speech waveform and to split the speech spectrum into two frequency regions of harmonic and random components. A reliable fundamental frequency is estimated for the harmonic region using both speech and its linear predictive (LP) residual spectrum. The peak envelope of speech spectrum is encoded in terms of the coefficients of an all-pole spectrum. A harmonic tracking algorithm appropriately interpolates the sinusoidal parameters to achieve a smooth transition between the parameter update points and to reconstruct an essential level of periodicity in the synthetic voiced speech. The random part of spectrum and unvoiced speech are coded using the conventional CELP algorithm. The individual components are then combined at the decoder to obtain the synthetic speech. The proposed hybrid coder which combines the powerful features of the sinusoidal and CELP coding algorithms yeilds a high quality synthetic speech at 4.05 kbps.
