The objective of this paper is to present a formant frequency estimation method, developed with a view to track small variations due to involuntary vocal tract movement. The formant frequency estimation is based on the instantaneous frequencies obtained by means of a complex wavelet transform and is synchronised with the glottal cycle. Results for synthetic speech signals show the precision of ...

We address the integer frequency offset (IFO) estimation under the influence of the timing offset (TO) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Incorporating the IFO and TO into the symbol set used to represent the received OFDM symbol, we investigate the influence of the TO on the IFO, and then, propose a combining method between two consecutive OFDM correlations, reducing...
