Re: [Freetel-codec2] 2400A VHF modem performance

Hi Adrian, This blog post compares a bunch of different modems at the 2% BER operating point: http://www.rowetel.com/?p=4663 Given all things being equal (e.g. sync overheads, bit rate etc) PSK is about 3dB better than 4FSK at the 2% BER point. In practice real world PSK modems tend to

Hi Andrew, Sounds like you're very close. The lsp_to_lpc() function is actually much simpler than the encode side. IIRC it's just a big polynomial multiplication, but this routine uses a method that clocks an impulse thru 2nd order filters formed by the odd and even LSP pairs. The output

2017-10-04 Thread Adrian Musceac
Hi, I was able to perform some field measurements on Sunday to compare the performance of the 4FSK modem and the QPSK modem in the 433 MHz ISM band. My transmitter was set to 1 mW output power into a 2 dBi gain antenna located at approx. 21 meters above ground on one of the buildings in my city.

[Freetel-codec2] LPC to LSP Function Confusion...

2017-10-04 Thread Andrew Fyfe
Hi Everyone, I'm working on a speech vocoder and have so far been able to use a combination of SPTK and codec2 functions to achieve most of this. However I'm confused as I want to be able to control the order of the lpc coefficients in real-time as a parameter but my LSP_to_LPC seems to have
