| 摘要 |
In a vocoder system, the receiver is arranged to emphasize at least the fundamental or lowest-frequency sinusoidal signal in response to the pitch, in a manner which provides more emphasis at lower pitch values, corresponding to larger pitch intervals. The emphasis provides a subjectively improved speech synthesis. In a preferred embodiment, the enhancement takes place at fundamental component frequencies below 400 Hz. According to another aspect of the invention, the second and third harmonics are also emphasized, but generally not as much as the fundamental component. Below certain frequencies, the enhancement is limited for the fundamental and the harmonics.
