Abstract

The present invention includes a method for speech encoding and decoding and a design of speech coder and decoder. The characteristic of speech encoding method relies on the type of data with high compression rate after the whole speech data is compressed. The present invention is able to lower the bit rate of the original speech from 64 Kbps to 1.6 Kbps and provide a bit rate lower than the traditional compression method. It can provide good speech quality, and attain the function of storing the maximum speech data with minimum memory. As to the speech decoding method, some random noises are appropriated added into the exciting source, so that more speech characteristics can be simulated to produce various speech sounds. In addition, the present invention also discloses a coder and a decoder designed by application specific integrated circuit, and the structural design is optimized according to the software. Its operating speed is much faster than the digital signal processor, and suits the system requiring fast computation speed such as multiple line encoding; its cost is also lower than the digital signal processor.
