Abstract
One of the limiting factors of performance of any communication system is bandwidth. In telephone systems, the operational voice frequency ranges from 300 to 3400 Hz and is called Narrow Band (NB). This NB causes remarkable depreciation of speech in terms of quality and intelligibility, specifically for elderly persons. Speech Bandwidth Extension (SBE) technique is used to increase the quality and intelligibility of NB signal. In SBE method, additional data about the lost speech frequency components is transmitted along with NB signal. A better-quality Wide Band (WB) signal is reconstructed at the receiver end using the transmitted missing speech frequency components. This paper explores the ability of SBE to enhance the quality and intelligibility of NB signal for elderly persons. The enhancement in the quality and intelligibility of NB speech for elderly persons is reasserted by subjective listening and objective tests.
