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