Abstract

A code excited linear prediction (CELP) type speech signal coding system is provided, a code vector obtained by applying linear prediction to a vector of a residual speech signal of white noise is stored in a code book. A pitch prediction vector obtained by applying linear prediction to a residual signal of a preceding frame is given a delay corresponding to a pitch frequency and added to the code vector. Use is made of an impulse vector obtained by applying linear prediction to a residual signal vector of impulses having a predetermined relationship with the vectors of the white noise code book. Variable gains are given to at least the above code vector and impulse vector, a reproduced signal is produced, and this reproduced signal is used for identification of the input speech signal. Thus, a pulse series corresponding to the sound source of voiced speech sounds is created.
