Vector quantization codebook algorithms are used for coding of narrow band speech signals. Multi-stage vector quantization and split vector quantization methods are two important techniques used for coding of narrowband speech signals and these methods are very popular due to the high bit rate minimization during coding of the signals. This paper presents performance measurements of multistage vector quantization and split vector quantization methods. We used line spectral frequencies for coding of the speech signals in codebook tables so as to ensure filter stability after quantization. The codebooks were generated by using the Linde-Buzo-Gray (LBG) algorithm. The tests were performed by selecting large amount of input data in training and test stages and to evaluate noise robustness of the methods, both noisy and clean speech signals were used. As a result, different codebooks were designed and tested in many stages and different bit rates to measure quantization performance. It is measured in terms of spectral distortion evaluation. We obtained the best result in 24bit multistage vector quantization codebook with a spectral distortion less than 1 dB for clean speech training data input. When we compared multistage and split vector quantization codebook spectral distortion results, multistage codebooks gave better performance in each option.
