VOCODERS
• Vocoder is an audio processor that is used to transmit speech or voice
signal in the form of digital data.
• Vocoders are basically used for digital coding of speech and voice
simulation.
• Whenever a speech signal is transmitted, it is not needed to transmit
the precise waveform as speech contains a sequence of voiced and
unvoiced sounds.
VOICE ENCODER
• The frequency spectrum of the speech signal (200Hz - 3200Hz) is divided into 15
frequency ranges by using 15 Bandpass filter(BPF) each having bandwidth range of
200Hz. The output of BPF acts as input for the rectifier unit.
• Here, the signal is rectified and filtered so as to produce a dc voltage. This generated dc
voltage is proportional to the amplitude of AC signal present at the output of the filter.
• The input of the frequency discriminator is the speech signal. Frequency discriminator
unit is followed by a Low pass filter(LPF) of 20Hz. This LPF generates a dc voltage
proportional to the voice frequency. The frequency represents nothing else than the
pitch of the voice. This dc voltage also indicates whether the speech is voiced or
unvoiced.
• Now, the output at all the LPF's is dc voltage which is sampled, multiplexed and A/D
converted. So, we have a digital equivalent of the speech signal at the output.
VOICE DECODER
• The digital voice signal generated by the voice encoder is firstly decoded. Then
voice decoder using a speech synthesizer produces voice signal at its output. It
generally generates an approximate voice signal.
• The demultiplexer and DAC section convert the received encoded signal back to
its analog form. Here, a balanced modulator(BM)-filter combination is used in
correspondence to rectifier-filter combination at the encoder. The carrier to this
BM is either the output of noise generator or pulse generator. But this depends on
the position of the switch.
• However, the switch position is decided by the decoder.
