Speech encoding method and speech encoding system
In this speech encoding system, the limiter circuit is input with the delay of adaptive codebook obtained for the previous subframe, and the pitch cycle search range is limited so that the delay of adaptive codebook obtained for the previous subframe is not discontinuous to the delay of adaptive codebook to be obtained for the current subframe, and the pitch cycle search range limited is output to the pitch calculation circuit. The pitch calculation circuit is input with output signal Xw(n) of the perceptual weighting circuit and the pitch cycle search range output from the limiter, calculating the pitch cycle Top, then outputting at least one pitch cycle Top to the adaptive codebook circuit. The adaptive codebook circuit is input with the perceptual weighting signal x&#8242;w(n), the past excitation signal v(n) output from the gain quantization circuit, the perceptual weighting impulse response hw(n) output from the impulse response calculation circuit, and the pitch cycle Top from the pitch calculation circuit, searching near the pitch cycle, calculating the delay of adaptive codebook. With the above composition, the delay of adaptive codebook obtained for each subframe can be prevented from being discontinuous in the process of time.
