Abstract
In a speech decoding apparatus (100) supplied with an input speech signal (101) comprising successive blocks, each comprising a digital speech signal and an error detecting code signal, an error detector (8) detects an error in the digital speech signal by the error detecting code signal for each block to produce error detection pulses whenever the error detector detects the error. The error detector also produces the digital speech signals of the blocks. A speech decoder (9) decodes the digital speech signals of the blocks into an analog speech signal. A measuring circuit (102) measures, as a measured value, the number of the error detection pulses during a predetermined time interval. A comparator (15) compares the measured value with a reference value to produce a command signal when the measured value is greater than the reference value. A generator (12) generates an alarm signal in response to the command signal.
