MELPe – Enhanced Mixed Excitation Linear Predictive (MELP) vocoder

A low bit-rate military codec known as standard MIL-STD-3005 and NATO STANAG 4591

CVSD Codec encodes voice signals at 1 bit per sample, so that audio sampled at 16kHz is encoded at 16 kbps.

Sampling Rate: 8 kHz  Coding Rate = 8000 bps
Sampling Rate: 12khz Coding Rate = 12000 bps
Sampling Rate: 16khz Coding Rate = 16000 bps

Description

CVSD Codec (Continuously Variable Slope Delta Modulation) is used in both commercial and military communications where “toll-quality” is required, yet low computation complexity and low memory requirements are desirable.  As the name implies it is Delta modulation (DM*) with variable step size. A method by which a voice signal is digitized for transmission, and then changed back to an analogue voice signal during reception. The size of the steps of the approximated signal is progressively increased or decreased as required to make the approximated signal closely match the input analog wave. The CVSD Codec is a full duplex codec.

*Delta-modulation (DM) is a differential waveform quantization or coding technique. A DM encoder uses the error between the original signal to be coded and the coded signal itself to create a differentially quantized data stream. Codec
