Abstract
An improved pitch searching time reducing method for a CELP vocoder using a Line Spectral Pair (LSP) frequency which is capable of significantly reducing the pitch search time by separating the speech signal using a first formant frequency of the line spectral pair of the digital type personal communication system, which includes the steps of computing a decimation interval of a pitch search interval using an LSP frequency of a first formant computed by a formant filter so as to compute a preparatory pitch of a given speech; determining a preparatory pitch to be used when searching a pitch by detecting a peak and a valley within each decimation interval; and computing a preparatory pitch by adapting a first formant frequency of an LSP computed by a formant filter with a decimation rate and performing a pitch search with respect to the obtained preparatory pitch.
