Abstract
A gain-shape vector quantization apparatus for compressing the data of voice signal. A code book portion is constituted by a plurality of shape vectors which produce a plurality of selected shape vectors. A plurality of variable gain circuits impart gains to each shape vector produced from the code book portion. A plurality of synthesis filters regenerate signals from the outputs of the variable gain circuits. An adder adds the signals regenerated by the synthesis filters. An evaluation unit produces an index to select a plurality of shape vectors in the code book portion in order to minimize an error between the output of the adder and an input speech signal and further produces gain adjusting signal for the variable gain circuits.
