12. The coder of claim 11, wherein said codevector generator further comprises a scrambler for modifying the sequency properties of transformed codevector possibilities.
12. The coder of claim 11, wherein said codevector generator further comprises a scrambler for modifying the sequency properties of transformed codevector possibilities. 13. The coder of claim 12, wherein said characteristics are capable of being determined by calculating the value of a fraction having a numerator and a denominator each being related to a number of codevector possibilities wherein said codevector generator only calculates said numerator and examines said numerators to determine which is the largest positive and largest negative.
