A low-complexity, hardware architecture for a parametric, real-time LSF speech decoder

One of the main objectives of the widely used MPEG4 audio standard was to provide a technical framework for audio coding suited for low bit rate wireless communication. All variants of the MPEG4 audio coders use a Linear Prediction (LP) filtering system. The LP filter coefficients are calc...
