Abstract

The coder generates code information A.sub.1 -A.sub.N, each representing one of Q quantization points of an input signal, where Q is an integer equal to or less than 2.sup.x and X is a positive number, synthesizes the code information A.sub.1 -A.sub.N into a code H through an operation: EQU H=A.sub.1 Q.sup.N-1 +A.sub.2 Q.sup.N-2 + . . . +A.sub.N-1 Q+A.sub.N, and outputs the code H. The decoder inputs the code H, separates the code H into code information A.sub.1 -A.sub.N through operations with decimal fractions of quotients truncated: EQU A.sub.1 =H/Q.sup.N-1 EQU A.sub.2 =(H-A.sub.1 Q.sup.N-1)/Q.sup.N-2 EQU A.sub.N-1 =(H-A.sub.1 Q.sup.N-1 -A.sub.2 Q.sup.N-2 - . . . -A.sub.N-2 Q.sup.2)/Q EQU A.sub.N =H-A.sub.1 Q.sup.N-1 -A.sub.2 Q.sup.N-2 - . . . -A.sub.N-2 Q.sup.2 -A.sub.N-1 Q, and reproduces an output signal based upon the thus-separated code information A.sub.1 -A.sub.N.
