ABSTRACT:
A sampled analog signal is filtered by a short-term prediction filter. The result, a segmented residual signal, is transformed from a time domain to a frequency domain into several frequency components, each having a frequency-component amplitude. If a number of new amplitudes is calculated by combining the several frequency-component amplitudes, such that the number of new amplitudes is smaller than the several frequency-component amplitudes, a more efficient coder is created. The reduction of the quality of speech coding, due to loss of information, could be decreased if this calculation is based on the so-called Bark scale (critical frequency bands). In a corresponding speech decoder, at the hand of the number of new amplitudes several new frequency-component amplitude are calculated (the number of new amplitudes being smaller than the several new frequency-component amplitudes), which then are inverse transformed from a frequency domain to a time domain into new subsegments. These new subsegments are inverse filtered by an inverse short-term prediction filter to generate a signal which is representative for a sample analog signal.
