Patent

CA 2167025

A method of encoding speech by analyzing a digitized speech signal to determine excitation parameters for the digitized speech signal is disclosed. The method includes dividing the digitized speech signal into at least two frequency bands, determining a first preliminary excitation parameter by performing a nonlinear operation on at least one of the frequency band signals to produce a modified frequency band signal and determining the first preliminary excitation parameter using the modified frequency band signal, determining a second preliminary excitation parameter using a method different from the first method, and using the first and second preliminary excitation parameters to determine an excitation parameter for the digitized speech signal. The method is useful in encoding speech. Speech synthesized using the parameters estimated based on the invention generates high quality speech at various bit rates useful for applications such as satellite voice communication.
