Low-Cost Multibeam Millimeter-Wave Array Antennas for 5G Mobile Applications

This paper presents a low-cost, compact, multibeam planar antenna system with a wide ±138∘ beam coverage angle at 28 GHz for 5G applications. The proposed microstrip based design includes two branch-line couplers and a Butler matrix with 2×10 and 4×10 seri ...

Intonation Modelling for Speech Synthesis and Emphasis Preservation

Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet

Speech-to-speech translation is a framework which recognises speech in an input language, translates it to a target language and synthesises speech in this target language. In such a system, variations in the speech signal which are inherent to natural hum ...

Beamforming towards regions of interest for multi-site mobile networks

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

We show how a beamforming technique for analytical spatial filtering, called Flexibeam, can be applied to mobile phone mast broadcasting so as to result in concentrations of power where most devices are. To that end, Flexibeam is interpreted as transmissio ...

"Can you hear me now?"

Raphaël Marc Ullmann

This thesis deals with signal-based methods that predict how listeners perceive speech quality in telecommunications. Such tools, called objective quality measures, are of great interest in the telecommunications industry to evaluate how new or deployed sy ...

Enabling Speech Applications using Ad Hoc Microphone Arrays

Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

Microphone arrays are central players in hands-free speech interface applications. The main duty of a microphone array is capturing distant-talking speech with high quality. A microphone array can acquire the desired speech signals selectively by leading t ...

Iterative Coding for Network Coding

Rüdiger Urbanke, Andrea Montanari

We consider communication over a noisy network under randomized linear network coding. Possible error mechanisms include node-or link-failures, Byzantine behavior of nodes, or an overestimate of the network min-cut. Building on the work of Kotter and Kschi ...

Multi-parametric source-filter separation of speech and prosodic voice restoration

Olaf Schleusing

In this thesis, methods and models are developed and presented aiming at the estimation, restoration and transformation of the characteristics of human speech. During a first period of the thesis, a concept was developed that allows restoring prosodic voic ...

BROADBAND BEAMPATTERN FOR MULTI-CHANNEL SPEECH ACQUISITION AND DISTANT SPEECH RECOGNITION

Hervé Bourlard, Philip Neil Garner, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

Spatial filtering is the fundamental characteristic of microphone array based signal acquisition which plays an important role in applications such as speech enhancement and distant speech recognition. In the array processing literature, this property is f ...

Beamforming with a Maximum Negentropy Criterion

Philip Neil Garner, Weifeng Li

In this paper, we address a beamforming application based on the capture of far-field speech data from a single speaker in a real meeting room. After the position of the speaker is estimated by a speaker tracking system, we construct a subband-domain beamf ...

Adaptive Beamforming with a Maximum Negentropy Criterion

Philip Neil Garner, Weifeng Li

\begin{abstract} In this paper, we address an adaptive beamforming application in realistic acoustic conditions. After the position of a speaker is estimated by a speaker tracking system, we construct a subband-domain beamformer in \emph{generalized sidelo ...
