초록

본 논문에서는 CS-ACELP와 호환성을 갖는 광대역 음성 부호화기를 설계하였다. 16㎑로 샘플링된 광대역 음성신호는 QMF 필터와 Decimation에 의하여 두 개의 협대역 음성신호로 나누어진다. 나누어진 두 개의 협대역 음성신호는 CS-ACELP와 ATC(Adaptive Transform Coding) 방법으로 각각 부호화되어 전송된다. 두 대역으로부터 부호화된 정보는 16 Kbps의 전송률을 갖고, 수신단에서는 각 대역을 CS-ACELP와 ATC 방법으로 역 부호화하여 음성신호를 합성한다. 설계된 광대역 음성부호화기의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 ITU-T의 표준안인 G.722를 포함하여 MOS 시험을 하였다.

In this paper, we designed the 16 Kbps speech coder that has compatibility with CS-ACELP algorithm(G.729). The speech signal is sampled at rate of 16 KHz, divided into two narrowband signal by QMF filterbank, and decimated to rate of 8 KHz. The lower-band signal is encoded by CS-ACELP and the upper-band signal is encoded by Adaptive Transform Coding(ATC) algorithm. At the receiver, two band signals are synthesized by decoder of CS-ACELP and ATC, respectively. The reconstructed output is obtained by passing the QMF synthesis bank. The proposed wideband coder is evaluated with ITU-T G.722 coder through the Mean Opinion Score(MOS) test.
