Abstract
A method of regenerating wideband speech from narrowband speech, the method comprising: receiving samples of a narrowband speech signal having a first range of frequencies; identifying, based on a characteristic of the narrowband speech signal, frequencies in the first range of frequencies to translate into a target band of a regenerated speech signal; modulating the identified frequencies in the first range of frequencies of the received samples of the narrowband speech signal with a modulation signal, the modulation signal having a modulating frequency adapted to upshift the identified frequencies in the first range of frequencies into the target band; filtering the modulated samples, using a target band filter, to form the regenerated speech signal in the target band; and combining the narrowband speech signal with the regenerated speech signal to produce a new wideband speech signal.
