Joint position and amplitude search of algebraic multipulses

A joint position and amplitude search algorithm is proposed for algebraic multipulse codebooks to be used in code-excited linear predictive (CELP) coders. The joint search complexity is below one quarter that of the focused search and ranks below those of the G.729A and IS-641-A coders. Listening tests indicate an equivalence in perceived quality.
