Abstract

In a speech coding method of the present invention, initially, a plurality of samples of speech data are analyzed by a linear prediction analysis and thereby prediction coefficients are calculated. Then, the prediction coefficients are quantized, and the quantized prediction coefficients are set in a synthesis filter. Moreover, a pitch period vector is selected from an adaptive codebook in which a plurality of pitch period vectors are stored, and the selected pitch period vector is multiplied by a first gain which is obtained, at the same time, with a second gain. In addition, a noise waveform vector is selected from a random codebook in which a plurality of the noise waveform vectors are stored, and is multiplied by a predicted gain and the second gain. Then, the speech vector is synthesized by exciting the synthesis filter with the pitch period vector multiplied by the first gain, and with the noise waveform vector multiplied by the predicted gain and the second gain. Consequently, speech data comprising a plurality of samples are coded as a unit of a frame operation. Furthermore, the predicted gain multiplied by the noise waveform vector which is selected in a subsequent frame o…
