In this paper, a fixed point Variable Bit-Rate (VBR) Mixed Excitation Linear Predictive Coding (MELP(TM)) vocoder is presented. The VBR-MELP vocoder is also implemented on a TMS320C54x and it achieves virtually indistinguishable federal standard MELP quality at bit-rates between 1.0 to 1.6 kb/s. The backbone of VBR-MELP vocoder is similar to that of federal standard MELP. It utilizes a novel sub-band based voice activity detector in the back-end of encoder to discriminate background noise from speech activity. Since proposed detector uses only parameters extracted in the encoder, its computational complexity is very low.

Implementation of a DF algorithm on an FPGA platform İpek, Abdullah Volkan; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis work, the implementations of the monopulse amplitude comparison and phase comparison DF algorithms are performed on an FPGA platform. After the mathematical formulation of the algorithms using maximum-likelihood approach is done, software simulations are carried out to validate and find the DF accuracies of the algorithms under various conditions. Then the algorithms are implemented on an FPGA platform by utilizing platform specific software tools. Block diagrams of the hardware implementatio...
IMPLEMENTATION OF GAIN CONTROL AS IP CORE Karabalkan, Melike Atay; Ermis, Ercan; Oner, Mehmet (2016-05-19) Stable output level increases the accuracy of further signal processing algorithms. So, gain control algorithms are important preprocessing steps. On the other hand, implementation of gain control algorithms vary depending on environment and performance parameters. In this case, the algorithms are required re-implementation. Re-implementation is a time consuming process especially for embedded signal processing platforms like FPGA. Implementation of signal processing algorithms as IP Cores are recommended t...
Wireless speech recognition using fixed point mixed excitation linear prediction (MELP) vocoder Acar, D; Karci, MH; Ilk, HG; Demirekler, Mübeccel (2002-07-19) A bit stream based front-end for wireless speech recognition system that operates on fixed point mixed excitation linear prediction (MELP) vocoder is presented in this paper. Speaker dependent, isolated word recognition accuracies obtained from conventional and bit stream based front-end systems are obtained and their statistical significance is discussed. Feature parameters are extracted from original (wireline) and decoded speech (conventional) and from the quantized spectral information (bit stream) of t...
Application of an analytical model to an actual CDMA system feedforward linearizer Coskun, A. Hakan; Demir, Şimşek (2003-01-01) Analysis and design of feedforward systems are complicated due to the presence of two nonlinear amplifiers and the requirement of amplitude, delay, and phase match in two different loops. For this reason, analytical tools are hard to develop but are required for initial designs and understanding of the system performance. Relation of the actual systems and the models based on certain assumptions is necessary. In this work we extend the previously developed analytical model and present the verifications with...
Fine resolution frequency estimation from three DFT samples: Case of windowed data Candan, Çağatay (2015-09-01) An efficient and low complexity frequency estimation method based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) samples is described. The suggested method can operate with an arbitrary window function in the absence or presence of zero-padding. The frequency estimation performance of the suggested method is shown to follow the Cramer-Rao bound closely without any error floor due to estimator bias, even at exceptionally high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) values.
