<p>Provided is an audio encoding device which can detect an optimal pitch pulse when using pitch pulse information as redundant information. The device includes: a search start decision unit (121) which decides the oldest point among a plurality of points where a pitch pulse may exist; a pitch pulse candidate selection unit (122) which defines a search range as a range between the search start point and the point preceding the point of the head of the current frame by one and selects a decoding sound source vector having a large amplitude in this search range as a pitch pulse position candidate; a selector switch (125) which successively switches a plurality of pitch pulse position candidates inputted from a pitch pulse candidate selection unit (122) for output to a pulse sequence generation unit (123) and an error minimization unit (124); a pulse sequence generation unit (123) which generates as a pulse sequence, a vector generated as an adaptive codebook component from the pitch pulse in the current frame when a pitch pulse is set to be a pitch pulse position candidate inputted from the selector switch (125).</p> |
