A new way of determining autocorrelation coefficients for adaptive codebook vectors for CELP coding of speech simplifies and improves the accuracy of the autocorrelation coefficient determination for the situation where the codebook vector length being analyzed is less than a speech frame length. This is important in synthesizing short pitch period speech. Copy-up of the shortened codebook vector to equal the frame length is not needed and autocorrelation coefficient errors associated with copy-up are avoided. The improved system relies on calculating autocorrelation coefficients of the first (shortest) vector and then obtaining subsequent autocorrelation coefficients for successive vectors of increasing length by a simple end correction technique until the vector length equals the frame length. The autocorrelation coefficients are scaled by multiplying them by the ratio of the frame length to the vector length.
