Linear Predictive Coding - this page is a stub

Linear Predictive Coding (LPC), also known as LPC-10, FIPS 137 or FED-STD-1015, is a speech encoding standard, or vocoder, used in secure telephony. It is basically a method for digitizing speech by analyzing and storing specific characteristics of it, such as pitch and voiced/voiceless sounds, in such a way that an intelligible signal can be reconstructed later. The standard, finished on 28 November 1984, was developed by the US Department of Defense (DoD) and is based on the earlier STANAG 4198 standard, promulgated by NATO on 13 February 1984 [1].

LPC was used with early voice encryption equipment, such as STU-I, STU-II, VINSON KY-57 and Philips Spendex 40, and allows speech compression at low bitrates — typically between 800 and 2400 baud. LPC-10E was a US Government standard that was even used on STU-III terminals when running at 2400 baud. As it is an open standard, it was used by many manufacturers.
