Abstract

This paper proposes new 16 kbps wideband speech codec with bandwidth of 7 kHz. The proposed codec decomposes the input speech signal into low-band and high-band signals using QMF (Quadrature Mirror Filter), then AMR (Adaptive Multi Rate) speech codec processes the low-band signal and new transform-domain codec based on G.722.1 wideband cosec compresses the high-band signal. The proposed codec allocates different number of bits to each band in an adaptive way according to the property of input signal, which provides better performance than the codec with the fixed bit allocation scheme. In addition, the proposed cosec processes high-band signal using wavelet transform for better performance. The performance of proposed codec is measured in a subjective method. and the simulations with various speech data show that the proposed coders has better performance than G.722 48 kbps SB-ADPCM.

본 논문에서는 7 kHz 대역폭을 가지는 새로운 16 kbps 광대역 음성 압축기를 제안한다. 제안하는 압축기는 QMF (Quadrature Mirror Filter)를 사용하여 입력 신호를 하위 밴드와 상위 밴드로 분리하고, 하위 밴드는 AMR (Adaptive Multi Rate)음성 압축기를 이용하여 압축하고 상위밴드는 G.722.1 광대역 음성 압축기를 기반으로 새로운 압축기를 개발하여 압축한다. 특히 입력신호의 성질에 따라 상위 밴드와 하위 밴드에 할당되는 비트수를 다르게 함으로써 고정적으로 비트를 할당하는 음성 압축기보다 향상된 압축 성능을 제공하고, 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 상위 밴드 신호의 압축 성능을 향상시켰다. 주관적 방법으로 제안된 음성 압축기의 성능을 측정하였으며, 다양한 입력신호에 대하여 제안한 16 kbps음성 압축기가 G.722 48 kbps SB-ADPCH보다 우수한 성능을 가지는 것을 할인하였다.
