VARIABLE DIMENSION SPECTRAL MAGNITUDE QUANTIZATION APPARATUS AND METHOD USING PREDICTIVE AND MEL-SCALE BINARY VECTOR

A variable dimension spectral magnitude quantization apparatus and method using a predictive and mel scale binary vector is provided. The apparatus according to linear prediction spectral envelope and residual spectral envelope quantization using low order linear prediction modeling and residual spectrum modeling, includes a predictive quantizer for obtaining a predictive-quantized first residual spectral envelope from a quantized previous residual spectral envelope, a mel-scale binary vector quantizer for obtaining a second residual spectral envelope represented with a linear scale code vector using a mel-scale binary vector codebook, a synthesized spectral envelope generator for adding the output of the predictive quantizer and the output of the mel-scale binary vector quantizer to generate a quantized residual spectral envelope and multiplying the quantized residual spectral envelope by a corresponding quantized linear prediction spectral envelope to generate a synthesized spectral envelope, a comparator for comparing the synthesized spectral envelope with an original spectral envelope, and a minimum value detector for detecting a minimum value from the values sequentially obtained by the comparator.
