An Enhanced analysis-by-synthesis Waveform Interpolative speech coder able to operate at 4 kbps. Novel features include analysis-by-synthesis quantization of the slowly evolving waveform, analysis-by-synthesis vector quantization of the dispersion phase, a special pitch search for transitions, and switched-predictive analysis-by-synthesis gain vector quantization. Subjective quality tests indicate that it exceeds MPEG-4 at 4 kbps and of G.723.1 at 6.3 kbps.

Enhanced waveform interpolative coder

An enhanced analysis-by-synthesis waveform interpolative speech coder able to operate at 2.8 kbps. Novel features include dual-predictive analysis-by-synthesis quantization of the slowly-evolving waveform, efficient parametrization of the rapidly-evolving waveform magnitude, and analysis-by-synthesis vector quantization of the rapidly evolving waveform parameter. Subjective quality tests indicate that it exceeds G.723.1 at 5.3 kbps, and of G.723.1 at 6.3 kbps.
