Abstract
The introduction of vector quantization in the harmonic coder framework can affect several sets of parameters, namely the amplitudes and the phases of the harmonic coefficients. A systematic experimental study is reported in which this type of quantization is compared with traditional scalar techniques for quantizing the harmonic parameters. The experiments showed that it is possible to quantize voice speech below 8 kb/s and still obtain high-quality synthetic signals
