ABSTRACT:
A speech signal is analyzed for each frame so that it is separated into spectral envelope information and excitation information, and the excitation information is expressed by a plurality of pulses. Judgement is conducted as to whether the current frame is a voiced frame immediately after the transition from an unvoiced frame, a voiced frame continuative from a voiced frame or an unvoiced frame, and excitation pulses are generated in accordance with the judgement result. In case of a continuing voiced frame, the excitation pulse position of the current voiced frame is determined based on the pitch period with respect to the excitation pulse position of the immediately preceding voiced frame so that the excitation pulse train is generated at a position approximated to the determined position.
