The AD converter 1008 receives the filtered voice signal 1032 and digitizes it to generate a digital version 1034 of the voice signal for further processing by the FD encoder 1010. For this purpose, the AD converter 1008 includes components for sampling the filtered voice signal 1032 and quantizing the sampled voice signal.
The FD encoder 1010 performs frequency decomposition of the digitized voice signal 1034 using dominant frequencies, and generates the speech signal 216 as a result. The FD encoder 1010 may include, among other components, a processor 1012, a signal interface 1022, a network communication module 1024, a memory 1013 and a bus 1011 connecting these components. Although the FD encoder 1010 is illustrated in
The processor 1012 reads and executes instructions, for example, stored in the memory 1013. Although a single processor is illustrated in
The signal interface 1022 is an interface circuit for receiving the digitized voice signal 1034 from the AD converter 1008. The signal interface 1022 may use well known serial or parallel bus schemes to receive the digitized voice signal 1034 and/or other signals.
