We report a comprehensive THz, infrared and optical study of Nb doped SrTiO3 as well as DC conductivity and Hall effect measurements. Our THz spectra at 7K show the presence of a very narrow (<2 meV) Drude peak, the spectral weight of which shows approximately a factor of three enhancement of the band mass for all carrier concentrations. The missing spectral weight is regained in a broad 'mid-infrared' band which originates from electron-phonon coupling. We find no evidence of a particularly large electron-phonon coupling that would result in small polaron formation. Analysis of the results yields an electron-phonon coupling parameter of an intermediate strength, $\alpha \approx 4$.
