A digital pipeline processing system for implementing both vocoder and data modem functions. The pipeline capability is provided by three circulating memories and two associated arithmetic units. The first circulating memory and its arithmetic unit implement the functions of vocoder spectrum analysis modem modulation and modem demodulation. The second circulating memory and its arithmetic unit implement the functions of vocoder pitch extraction, vocoder parameter filtering, and vocoder speech synthesis. The third circulating memory is used for temporary storage of data while computations are carried out by the other circulating memories and their arithmetic units. The processing system also comprises a control unit which provides timing and gating signals for control of the remainder of the processor, an impulse response synthesizer which provides sinusoids used in speech synthesis, encoding and decoding circuitry for formating data, and a plurality of read-only memories for permanent storage of functions required by the processor.
