    摘要: An adaptive coder and decoder for reducing the bit rate required to trans digitally encoded speech signals. The invention relies on the fact that the speech pattern of the average talker contains significant numbers of inter-syllable and inter-word pauses. The coder includes circuitry that monitors the idle pattern code generated by the coder's analog-to-digital converter and a code word generator that generates one or more special code words that are substituted for idle pattern code sequences of predetermined length. The speech signal and special code words are then fed into an elastic buffer and transmitted to the distant receiver at a lower bit rate than was employed for the encoding process. At the receiving location, the decoder recognizes the special code words, substitutes an idle pattern bit stream of the appropriate length for the code words and then reads-out the contents of an elastic input buffer at a higher bit rate than was used to transmit the incoming signal, that is, at the same bit rate as was initially used at the coder.

    摘要: In an adaptive, predictive coder for speech signals, the transmitted signal generally consists of an rms value, a pitch signal, a voice-unvoiced indication, and a number of parameter signals for adjusting the coefficients of a linear predictor. Transmission of these signals is improved in this invention by generating a low rate pulsive signal and by shaping its spectrum in accordance with the parameter signals. The pulsive signals thus act as a carrier for the parameters. The bandwidth required for transmitting the resulting composite signal, i.e., the modulated pulsive signal and the subsidiary signals, is substantially less than that of the original speech signal and somewhat less than that required for the transmission of predictively coded signals.

    摘要: A synthesizer for a channel vocoder for the transmission of speech with considerable frequency band reduction in digital technology provides a reduction of circuit expense. This is accomplished, given non-recursive filters having finite impulse response, not with a weighting of the pulse-shaped excitation variable with the transmitted envelope values of the spectral channels, but with a time variance of the filters by weighting their filter coefficients with the transmitted envelope values. In addition, with proper dimensioning of the filter coefficients, an optimum speech quality of synthesized speech is obtained at the output of the synthesizer even given elimination of the transmission of a voiced/voiceless signal.

    摘要: A device for forming omitted samples by extrapolation in a transmitted signal having non-uniform, grouped samples representing a short-time stationary signal such as speech. The grouped samples are passed through a series of delay circuits. Fourier transformation of the samples is performed to form omitted samples which are inserted in the signal between the grouped samples. The Fourier transformation is used to select multiplication coefficients which are multiplied by the sample amplitudes, with the products of the multiplication being summed to form the omitted samples. In one embodiment the extrapolation is performed in both carry forward and carry back circuits.

    摘要: A frequency band compression method, using Time Compression, for use with a frequency division multiplex (FDM) signal carrying voice signal. On the transmission end, the multiplexed signal is divided into a plurality of time segments, each segment having a certain duration, then deleting a part of the each segment and time-expanding the remaining part of the segment by a sawtooth variable delay, thus lowering the frequency of the signal to a predetermined ratio. On the receive end, the signal segments are compressed by a corresponding variable delay, thus making the received frequency higher and reproducing the original multiplexed voice signals.

    摘要: An electrical delay line which has variable delay controlled by a signal input thereto is connected in a sound signal channel for signals such as human speech, to compress or expand the sound signal waveform depending on whether the time delay in the line is increased or decreased. By periodically sweeping the delay line from minimum to maximum time delay or vice-versa, repeated segments of a continuous sound signal waveform are processed so that an output audio signal can be obtained having the original frequency components of the signal and occupying a time duration which is equal to or smaller or larger than the original sound sequence with the successive segments of the signal processed by the variable delay line assembled with regard both to the significant parameters of human speech or other coding and the electrical conditions imposed by the system to produce a composite audio signal which is an intelligible replica of the original and substantially free of annoying aberrations introduced by the delay line processor. Variable delay using analog or digital signal storage is also provided.

    摘要: An encoding/decoding system employing vector quantization realizes a high quality encoding and decoding with decreased quantizing errors, employing a small sized codebook which faithfully represents each of the inputted waveform vectors. An encoding/decoding system includes an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus, each having a codebook for storing information vectors representative of a predetermined number of signal patterns and index that determine the information vectors. The encoding apparatus compares a vector representing an object signal to be quantized with each information vector in the codebook, selects an information vector that is closest to the vector and outputs an index for the information vector. The decoding apparatus obtains an information vector corresponding to the index obtained at the encoding apparatus side by referring to the codebook and decodes the object signal. The codebook utilizes a temporary memory connected thereto. The content of the codebook is temporarily moved to the temporary memory when the identity of the speaker changes. The contents of the temporary memory are read out when the original speakers returns to the system.
