The paper presents a high quality harmonic excitation linear predictive (HE-LPC) speech coder operating at 2 kb/s based on a harmonic excitation model with two bands. The system incorporates novel features such as: combined pitch detection; residual harmonic matching voicing determination; extraction and interpolation of residual harmonic magnitudes. Subjective listening tests indicate that this coder has the same quality as that of the Federal Standard MELP (mixed excitation linear prediction) coder at 2.4 kb/s, whether the training database is from Chinese or English.

An all-pole modeling technique, Linear Prediction with Low-frequency Emphasis (LPLE), which emphasizes the lower frequency range of speech, is presented. The method is based on first interpreting conventional linear predictive (LP) analyses of successive prediction orders with parallel structures using the concept of symmetric linear prediction. In these implementations, symmetric linear prediction is preceded by simple pre-filters, which are of either low or high frequency characteristics. Combining those symmetric linear predictors that are not preceded by high-frequency pre-filters yields the LPLE predictor. It is proved that the all-pole filters computed by LPLE are always stable. The results show that the method is well-suited when low-order all-pole models with improved modeling of the lowest formants are needed.

A lumped physical model of the glottal source is presented. Vocal folds are described as single masses, but vertical phase differences between upper and lower margins of the folds are taken into account by appropriately describing the non-linear interaction of the mechanical model with aerodynamics. This results in a modified one-mass model, or a "one-delayed-mass model". Analysis on numerical simulations shows that the system behaves qualitatively as higher-dimensional models (such as the two-mass model by Ishizaka and Flanagan);in particular, control over flow skewness is guaranteed, allowing for synthesis of realistic glottal flow waveforms. As only one degree of freedom (one mass) is needed in the model, structure and number of parameters are drastically reduced, thus making it suitable for real-Time synthesis applications.

Measurements have been conducted in an anechoic chamber for a comparison to current acoustic theory with regard to radiation directivity from a cylindrical pipe with toneholes. Several difficulties arise in measurements of this sort, including (1) the generation of sufficient driving signal strength at the pipe input for pickup by an external microphone; (2) external source‐to‐pickup isolation; (3) measurement contamination due to nonlinear driver distortion. Time‐delay spectrometry using an exponentially swept sine signal was employed to determine impulse responses at points external to the experimental air column. This technique is effective in clearly isolating nonlinear artifacts from the desired linear system response along the time axis, thus allowing the use of a strong driving signal without fear of nonlinear distortion. The experimental air column was positioned through a wall conduit into the anechoic chamber such that the driver and pipe input were located outside the chamber while the open pipe end and tone holes were inside the chamber, effectively isolating the source from the pickup. Measured results are compared to both transmission‐line, frequency–domain simulations, as well as time–domain digital waveguide calculations.
