Abstract

A normalization value calculator 12 calculates a normalization value that is representative of a predetermined number of input samples. A normalization value quantizer 13 quantizes the normalization value to obtain a quantized normalization value and a normalization-value quantization index corresponding to the quantized normalization value. An quantization-candidate calculator 14 subtracts a value corresponding to the quantized normalization value from a value corresponding to the magnitude of each of the samples to obtain a difference value and, when the difference value is positive and the value of each of the samples is positive, sets the difference value as an quantization candidate corresponding to the sample. When the difference value is positive and the value of each of the samples is negative, the quantization-candidate calculator 14 reverses the sign of the difference value and setting the sign-reversed value as an quantization candidate corresponding to the sample. When the difference value is not positive, the quantization-candidate calculator 14 sets 0 as an quantization candidate corresponding to the sample. A vector quantizer 15 jointly vector-quantizes a plurality o…
