Abstract

The multi-pulse excitation model provides a method for producing natural-sounding speech at medium to low bit rates. Multi-pulse analysis obtains the all-pole filter excitation by minimizing a spectrally-weighted mean-squared error between the original and synthetic speech signals. Although the method provides high quality speech around 10 kbits/sec, speech quality suffers if the bit rate is lowered. In this paper, we focus on problems encountered in attempting to maintain speech quality while synthesizing speech using multi-pulse excitation at lower bit rates.
