Abstract

According to the invention, an excitation signal is generated as a result of sampled excitation values in order to excite an audio synthesis filter, the generated sampled excitation values being continuously stored in an adaptive codebook. A noise generator is provided which continuously generates random sampled values. A sequence of the stored sampled excitation values is selected from the adaptive codebook based on a fed audio fundamental frequency parameter by means of which a time gap between the sequence that is to be selected and the actual time reference is predefined. The excitation signal is generated by mixing the selected sequence with a random sequence encompassing actual random sampled valued of the noise generator.
