Abstract

A signal decoding method and apparatus in which the speech signal reproducing speed is controlled without changing the phoneme or the pitch, in which the apparatus has a data number convertor for converting the number of orthogonal transform coefficients entering a transmission signal input terminal from N to M, an inverse orthogonal transform unit for inverse orthogonal-transforming the M number of the orthogonal transform coefficients obtained by the data number convertor, and a linear predictive coding synthesis filter for performing predictive synthesis based on the short-term prediction residuals obtained by the inverse orthogonal transform unit. For an input signal, short-term prediction residuals are found and are orthogonally transformed to form the orthogonal transform coefficients at a rate of N coefficients per transform unit. The frequency positions of the N transform coefficients may be rearranged to M values by M/N or by oversampling to change N to M. A portable radio terminal embodying the invention is described.
