Abstract :
A CELP based mixed-source model is described. It uses a mixed excitation which combines a lowpass-filtered adaptive source and a highpass-filtered stochastic source. In addition, one more stochastic source is newly employed for more natural sounding speech. In informal listening tests, the proposed model at 3 kbit/s shows very good performance both in speech quality and intelligibility.
