<p>A vocoder device and corresponding method characterizes and reconstructs speech excitation. An excitation analysis portion preforms a cyclic excitation transformation (52) process on a target excitation segment by rotating a peak amplitude to a beginning buffer location. The excitation phase representation is dealiased (54) using multiple dealiasing passes based on the phase slope variance. Both primary and secondary excitation components are characterized (56), where the secondary excitation is characterized based on a computation of the error (178) between the characterized primary excitation and the original excitation. Alternatively, an excitation pulse compression filter (50) is applied to the target, resulting in a symmetric target. The symmetric target is characterized (58) by normalizing half the symmetric target. The synthesis portion performs reconstruction (216, 218) and synthesis (220) of the characterized excitation based on the characterization method employed by the analysis portion.</p> |
