Abstract
A CELP speech decoder includes an adaptive codebook that generates an adaptive code vector and a random codebook that generates a random code vector. The random codebook includes an input vector provider that provides an input vector including at least one pulse, each pulse having a position and a polarity, a fixed waveform storage that stores at least one fixed waveform, and a selector that selects at least one of a first process and a second process based on a value of an adaptive codebook gain. The random codebook further includes a convolution section that generates the random code vector by convoluting the at least one fixed waveform with the input vector when the first process is selected. A synthesis filter outputs synthesized speech by performing linear prediction coefficient synthesis on a signal based on the adaptive code vector and the random code vector.
