Abstract
In a CELP coder a comparison between a target signal and a plurality of synthetic signals is made. The synthetic signal is derived by filtering a plurality of excitation sequences from a one dimensional codebook by a synthesis filter having parameters derived from the target signal. The excitation signal that results in a minimum error between the target signal and the synthetic signal is selected. In order to reduce the complexity of the search for the best excitation signal, the selection is done in two stages. First a preselection of a small number of excitation sequences is made by selecting only every L.sup.th codebook entry for preselecting a plurality of excitation sequences. Thereafter, with this small number of excitation sequences, a fill complexity search is made in which all excitation sequences surrounding the preselected ones are involved in the selection.
