Abstract
A digital signal processor (DSP) based voice communication system for divers with a 2400 bit/s transmission rate is described. Each speech signal frame is analysed using linear predictive coding (LPC) and the essential parameters such as amplitude, pitch period and digital filter coefficients are extracted. These parameters are transmitted through a water channel at a rate of 2400 bit/s by employing digital pulse position modulation (DPPM).
