Abstract

A random code vector reading section and a random codebook of a conventional CELP type speech coder/decoder are respectively replaced with an oscillator for outputting different vector streams in accordance with values of input seeds, and a seed storage section for storing a plurality of seeds. This makes it unnecessary to store fixed vectors as they are in a fixed codebook (ROM), thereby considerably reducing the memory capacity.
