Vocoder

 

The DVSI AMBE+2™ vocoder is based on Multi-Band Excitation (MBE), i.e. a frequency domain approach. Main characteristics are:

§  Very low bit rate 2450 bps (voice) + 1150 bps (FEC) = 3600 bps

§  Very high voice quality at very low bit rate.

§  Robust to strong background noise and to PMR/LMR channel

§  Moderate complexity, easy to implement on a low-cost DSP

§  Language  indepdendent

§ 20ms voice frame and FEC optimized for PMR/LMR applications

not included

Tuning

The tuning frequency is 240 Hz below the center peak
