Abstract
An input speech signal is encoded by an adaptive quantizer device (16). The adaptive quantizer device quantizes the predicted residual signal produced by removing correlations from the digital input signal by predictors devices (6, 10). A coefficient or weighting factor, called a leakage, at the predictor device (6) is adaptively adjusted by a leakage selector device (47) depending upon a prediction gain. The prediction gain indicates the accuracy of the prediction. The value of leakage is in the range between 0 and 1, depending upon whether the speech signal is voiced sound or unvoiced sound.
