Abstract: An apparatus and method of coding speech. The apparatus includes a first circuit being coupled to receive a first signal, the first signal corresponds to the speech signal. The first circuit is for generating a first set of parameters corresponding to the first frame. The apparatus includes a second circuit, being coupled to receive a second signal and the first set of parameters, the second signal corresponding to the speech signal, and the second circuit is for generating a third signal. The apparatus further includes a pulse train analyzer, being coupled to the second circuit, for generating a third match value, a third set of parameters, and a third excitation value. The apparatus further including a fourth circuit, being coupled to the second circuit, for generating a fourth match value, a fourth set of parameters, and a fourth excitation value. The apparatus further including a fifth circuit, being coupled to the third circuit and the fourth circuit, for selecting a mode corresponding to a match value.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the realization of two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (DCT) for an 8*8 image fragment with three levels of approximation of DCT coefficients. A first embodiment uses two multiplications for a pixel. A second embodiment does not use multiplications. The accuracy of approximation of DCT coefficients in the second embodiment is coordinated with distortion defined by a given quantization matrix. The Discrete Algebraic Transform (DAT) is presented. The DAT is a good approximation of the DCT and can be used in any combination with DCT.
