Abstract
To perform pitch analysis for encoding a speech signal, a speech signal is sampled. The sampled speech signal is spectrally whitened to produce a spectral residual signal. Samples of the spectral residual signal are collected and the collected samples are autocorrelated. Maximum values of the correlated result are determined. Gain values are determined based on at least in part the maximum values of the correlated result. The gain values are quantized using a codebook to produce a codebook index and an associated frame delay. The codebook index and the frame delay represent a pitch of the speech signal to facilitate encoding the speech signal.
