A wideband speech coding apparatus which causes an input speech signal to be represented by spectrum parameters and an excitation signal. The apparatus includes a coding unit configured to select a plurality of pulses from given pulse position candidates, and to code the excitation signal with the selected pulses; an identification unit configured to identify whether the input speech signal is a wideband speech signal or a narrowband speech signal; and a control unit configured to control the coding unit to select a pulse position candidate having a time resolution which is set in advance in accordance with the wideband speech signal, when the identification unit identifies that the input speech signal is the wideband speech signal, and to control the coding unit to lower the time resolution of the pulse position candidate, when the identification unit identifies that the input speech signal is the narrowband speech signal.
