Abstract
A quadratic phase interpolation method for synthesis of musical tones incorporates both phase and frequency measurements at the boundaries of a data frame using a weighted least square algorithm approach. The approach assumes that the true frequency and phase at the two ends of a data frame conform to a quadratic phase model and that exact match between measured phase and frequency with the quadratic model is not necessary because of the noise in the measurements.
