Digital Speech

This newly updated book covers all aspects of digital speech coding from an introduction to the background, sampling and analysis, quantisation methods and coders through to the recent research in areas such as voice activity detection and speech enhancement.

It has a number of new and updated chapters that advance the principles laid out in the first edition and bring the technology described completely up-to-date.  New chapters include:

 ‘Harmonic Coders’

 ‘Integration of harmonic and analysis by synthesis coders’

 ‘Voice Activity Detection’ 

 ‘Speech Enhancement’

It is the only book available that covers all these areas in a single text that is ideal for practising communications engineers, researchers and developers of communications systems and senior undergraduate students in electrical and electronic engineering.
