Abstract

An apparatus for concealing a highband error in a spilt-band wideband voice codec in accordance with the present invention is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a lowband LPC coefficient extracting unit for extracting a lowband linear predictive coding (LPC) coefficient from a lowband voice signal passed by a lowband decoding unit; a highband excitation signal generating unit for generating a highband excitation signal based on the lowband voice signal and the lowband LPC coefficient; a highband LPC coefficient generating unit for generating a highband LPC coefficient based on the lowband LPC coefficient; a highband voice synthesizing unit for synthesizing a highband voice signal based on the highband excitation signal and the highband LPC coefficient; and a high pass filtering unit for removing a lowband component of the synthesized highband voice signal by the highband voice synthesis unit and generating the synthesized highband voice signal.
