ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for speech coding are disclosed for converting analog speech signals to digital speech signals for transmission. The speech coder, utilizing CELP techniques, includes a first filter for filtering out the spectral information from the speech signal. The spectral information is provided for transmission. A second filter is provided for filtering out the pitch information from the speech signal and such pitch information is also provided for transmission. A codevector generator determines, in one embodiment, the characteristics of a bi-pulse codevector representative of the speech signal. In this embodiment the impulse response of the first filter is truncated for determining the codevector characteristics. In this embodiment it is also preferred to determine the codevector characteristics by conducting a numerator only search in relation to a traditional fraction used for determining codevectors. In another embodiment, the codevector generator includes a transformer for transforming codevector possibilities from being representative of pulse-like sound to being representative of noise-like sound. It is especially preferred for the transform to be a Hadamard transform. It is also preferred to scramble the transformed codevector to modify the sequency properties. In still another embodiment the bi-pulse codevector generator and the scrambled codevector generator are combined with a single pulse codevector generator. In such an embodiment, it is preferred to include a comparator for evaluating the characteristics determined by the three codebook generators and choosing the output of the one providing the best codebook vector.
