Abstract: A speech analyzer and synthesizer system using sinusoidal encoding and decoding techniques for voiced frames and noise excitation or multiple pulse excitation for unvoiced frames. For voiced frames, the analyzer transmits the pitch, values for each harmonic frequency by defining the offset from integer multiples of the fundamental frequency, total frame energy, and linear predictive coding, LPC, coefficients. The synthesizer is responsive to that information to determine the phase of the fundamental frequency and each harmonic based on the transmitted pitch and harmonic offset information and to determine the amplitudes of the harmonics utilizing the total frame energy and LPC coefficients. Once the phase and amplitudes have been determined for the fundamental and harmonic frequencies, the sinusoidal analysis is performed for voiced frames.

Abstract: A speech analyzer and synthesizer system using a sinusoidal encoding and decoding technique for voiced frames and noise excitation or multipulse excitation for unvoiced frames. For voiced frames, the analyzer transmits the pitch, values for a subset of offsets defining differences between harmonic frequencies and a fundamental frequency, total frame energy, and linear predictive coding, LPC, coefficients. The synthesizer is responsive to that information to determine the harmonic frequencies from the offset information for a subset of the harmonics and to determine the remaining harmonics from the fundamental frequency. The synthesizer then determines the phase for the fundamental frequency and harmonic frequencies and determines the amplitudes of the fundamental and harmonics using the total frame energy and the LPC coefficients. Once the phase and amplitudes have been determined for the fundamental and harmonic frequencies, the synthesizer performs a sinusoidal analysis.
