device and method for the production of a signal with constant fundamental frequency and device and method to synthesize signals using the signal with constantfundamental frequency.
A pitch wave signal creation method as a preliminary process for efficiently coding a speech wave signal having a fluctuated pitch period is provided. A speech signal compressing/expanding apparatus and a speech signal synthesizing apparatus using the method, and a signal processing associated therewith are further provided. The pitch wave creation method of the invention is essentially comprised of a method of detecting the instantaneous pitch period of each pitch wave element of the speech wave signal, and a process of converting a corresponding pitch wave element into a normalized pitch wave element having a predetermined fixed time length by expanding and compressing the pitch wave element on a time axis while retaining its wave pattern based on the each detected instantaneous pitch period. The speech signal having a pitch fluctuation can be compressed in high quality and high efficiency by coding or synthesizing the speech wave signal using the pitch wave signal creation method of the invention.
