Abstract

An improved digital communication system, e.g., a CELP code/decoder based system, is improved for use with a wide-band signal such as a high-quality speech signal by modifying the noise weighting filter used in such systems to include a filter section which affects primarily the spectral tilt of the weighting filter in addition to a filter component reflecting formant frequency information in the input signal. Alternatively, the weighting is modified to reflect perceptual transform techniques.
