Abstract

In a CELP coder a comparison between a target signal and a plurality of synthetic signals is made. The synthetic signal is derived by filtering a plurality of excitation sequences by a synthesis filter having parameters derived from the target signal. The excitation signal which results in a minimum error between the target signal and the synthetic signal is selected. In order to reduce the complexity of the search for the best excitation signal, thee selection is done in two stages. First a preselection of a small number of excitation sequences is made using a reduced complexity synthesis filter. Thereafter, with this small number of excitation sequences, a full complexity search is made. Due to the reduced number of excitation sequences involved in the final selection the required computational complexity is reduced.
