Abstract

An apparatus synchronizes a voice coder and a voice decoder which are of the vector-coding type in order to prevent a false synchronization even when a signal having the same period as a string of synchronizing bits is inputted. A noise component adding unit adds a noise component to an input voice signal. Therefore, even if the input voice signal has the same period as that of a string of synchronizing bits and is completely periodic, the periodicity of the input voice signal is lost by the added noise component. Based on the input voice signal which is no longer periodic, a vector-coding unit, a quantizing signal vector generating unit, and a code book index transmitting unit generate code book indexes and transmit the generated code book indexes to a voice decoder. Therefore, the voice decoder is prevented from developing a false synchronization.
