View source for G.728

'''G.728''' is an [[ITU-T]] [[International standard|standard]] for [[speech coding]] operating at 16&nbsp;[[kilobit|kbit]]/s. It is officially described as ''Coding of speech at 16&nbsp;kbit/s using low-delay code excited linear prediction''.
Technology used is LD-[[CELP]], low-delay code excited linear prediction. Delay of the [[codec]] is only 5 samples (0.625&nbsp;ms). The linear prediction is calculated backwards with a 50th order [[linear predictive coding]] filter. The excitation is generated with gain scaled [[vector quantization|VQ]]. The standard was finished in 1992 in the form of algorithm exact floating point code. In 1994 a [[bit exact]] [[Fixed-point arithmetic|fixed point]] codec was released. G.728 passes low bit rate [[modem]] signals up to 2400 [[bit]]/s. Also [[Computer network|network]] signaling goes through. The complexity of the codec is 30 [[Instructions per second|MIPS]]. 2 [[kilobyte]]s of [[Random access memory|RAM]] is needed for codebooks. [[Mean opinion score]] for G.728 is 3.61.
The essence of CELP techniques, which is an analysis-by-synthesis approach to codebook search, is retained in LD-CELP. The LD-CELP however, uses backward adaptation of predictors and gain to achieve an algorithmic delay of 0.625 ms.
[[RealAudio]] 28.8 is a reduced-bitrate variant of this standard, using 15.2 kbit/s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=RealAudio_28.8|title=RealAudio 28.8 - MultimediaWiki|website=wiki.multimedia.cx}}</ref>
