In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a signal generating device that generates a signal to be added for improving sound quality and a basic signal. This signal generating device analyzes voiced/unvoiced parameters V/
UV, pitch parameter P1 and amplitude parameter G extracted when voiced are input signals, and when voiced/unvoiced parameter V/UV is "voiced", it includes the pitch frequency and its harmonic components in that frame and has a predetermined amplitude. It generates an impulse train, and when it is "silent", it generates white noise of a predetermined amplitude as an output signal. In this case, the harmonic component of the impulse train is obtained by sampling at a higher frequency than the original frequency band. Reference numeral 2 denotes a filter having a stopband in the frequency band section of the frequency band limited audio signal B, which removes the frequency band components of the frequency band limited audio signal B from the output signal of the signal generator 1. get. Therefore, signal C has a frequency component higher than the frequency band of audio signal B. By adding this signal C and audio signal B in the adder 3, a signal is obtained in which a signal C having a frequency component higher than that frequency is added to the band-limited audio signal B. This signal This is output as an audio signal with improved sound quality of audio signal B.
