Abstract

The periodicity of a signal from a voice channel is determined by sampling the signal, computing the log power spectrum, optionally thresholding and differencing the power spectrum, and then performing an autocorrelation function of limited order to confine the search for periodicity to spans of up to about 400 Hz to 500 Hz.
