Abstract

In this paper we propose a split-band encoding scheme for 16 kbit/s wideband speech coding (50-7000 Hz), using 2 unequal subbands from 0-6 kHz and from 6-7 kHz. This approach was motivated by experimental evaluation of the signal bandwidth of speech frames. The higher subband is simply represented by white noise with adjustment of the short term energy. For the lower subband code-excited linear prediction (CELP) is used. By informal listening tests the speech quality was rated higher than the speech quality of the CCITT G.722 wideband codec operating at 48 kbit/s.
