Speech Coding Abstract： Speech coders have assumed considerable importance in communication systems as their performance, to a large extent, determines the quality of the recovered speech and the capacity of the system. The goal of all speech coding systems is to transmit speech with the highest possible quality using the least possible channel capacity. The most basic property of speech waveforms that is exploited by all speech coders is that they are bandlimited. Adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM) is a more efficient coding scheme which exploits the redundancies present in the speech signal. performance evaluation of speech coders have objective measures and subjective listening tests. Key Words：Speech coders; possible channel capacity; bandlimited; performance evaluation 1 Introduction Speech coders have assumed considerable importance in communication systems as their performance, to a large extent, determines the quality of the recovered speech and the capacity of the system. Especially in wireless communication system, bandwidth is a precious commodity, and service providers are continuously met with the challenge of accommodating more users within a limited allocated bandwidth. Low bit-rate speech coding offers a way to meet this challenge. The lower the bit rate at which the coder can deliver toll-quality speech, the more speech channels can be compressed within a given bandwidth. For this reason, manufacturers and service providers are continuously in search of speech coders that will provide toll quality speech at lower bit rates. The goal of all speech coding systems is to transmit speech with the highest possible quality using the least possible channel capacity. This has to be accomplished while maintaining certain required levels of complexity of implementation and communication delay. In general, there is a positive correlation between coder bit-rate efficiency and the algorithmic complexity required to achieve it. The more comp
