Analysis and electronic simulation of the "Average voice" for use as a test signal in mobile radio systems

A report is made on a study, of the "average voice" resulting in an electronic synthetic speech signal suitable for testing mobile radio systems in particular. An analysis of the frequency and level distributions, with respect to time, of a large number of "talkers" precedes a description of the synthetic voice signal. The design outline of a device, which could produce such a signal, is suggested along with comments about its use.
