Abstract :
An alternative to linear predictive coding (LPC) that makes use of multipulse techniques in the frequency domain is described. The synthesized speech promises to have a much more natural sounding quality than that of ordinary LPC at 2400 b/s. By making use of pitch period repetition, it is possible to code each frame of a voiced excitation signal with only three pulses. Simulation results are presented, showing that the voiced portions of the speech had a more natural quality. It remains to extend the technique to include the unvoiced portions as well
