ABSTRACT:
A MBE (Multi-Band Excitation) synthesizer (116) generates excitation components from information received by a receiver (2004). The information received includes spectral information representing a segment of speech. The MBE synthesizer (116) includes an excitation generator (2241) and a nonlinear voicing processor (2211). The excitation generator (2241) generates voiced excitation components and unvoiced excitation components. The nonlinear voicing processor (2211) is responsive to the spectral information and controls a selection of the excitation components from the voiced excitation components and the unvoiced excitation components.
