  Topic Two :Introduction to Speech Coding What, Why, Where & How

  • Introduction:

    It is aimed hear to write the speech signal in a proper format suitable for transmission or storage. Being speech, this signal has special characteristic which  enables us to remove redundancy. Speech coders are classified into several categories and Speech Coding Hierarchy is discussed. Mobile Speech coder is introduced as an example.

     

    Objectives :

    The main objectives of this topic are;

    1. Define speech coding

    2. Discuss speech coding principles

    3. Illustrate speech coding hierarchy

    4. Label quantization methods

    5. Indicate mobile communication speech coder

  Topic Three :Quantization Techniques

  • Introduction :

    Analogue signal is sampled then it becomes discrete in time but not digital. Quantization is used to discretize the amplitudes of theses samples. Quantization introduces some error and so SNR at the output of the quantizer is considered.

    
    

    Objectives:

    1. Identify quantization

    2. Know quantization methods

    3. Decide on the quality of the quantized signal

     

    Plan:

    First:Study the following file about Quantization Techniques

  • Second :Watch the following video about what is quantization

  •  

    Third :See the following video to understand quantization

  Topic Seven :LPC Transformation

  • Introduction :

    Speech parameters are to be quantized and encoded properly. Hence, LPC parameters may not be suitable for all kinds of processing. Hence, other forms of such parametrs should be considered

     

    Objectives:

    1. Acquire the importance of other forms of coefficints.

    2. Being able to transfer the cofficients int other forms like LAR, PARCOR,..
