    Summary

    This study introduces a novel pole-zero model for speech analysis, improving spectral accuracy over traditional all-pole linear prediction models. The noniterative method accurately characterizes speech, especially nasal sounds.

    Area of Science:

    • Speech processing
    • Digital signal processing
    • Acoustics

    Background:

    • Traditional linear predictive coding (LPC) uses an all-pole model, which struggles to accurately represent speech spectra, particularly for nasal and nasalized sounds.
    • Accurate spectral envelope modeling is crucial for speech analysis and synthesis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new method for speech characterization using a pole-zero model.
    • To overcome the limitations of all-pole models in representing complex speech spectra.

    Main Methods:

    • Constructing an impulse response from the speech signal, incorporating glottal, vocal tract, radiation, and recording system effects.
    • Utilizing multiple stages of all-pole linear predictive coding (LPC) analysis to derive the impulse response.
    • Determining pole-zero parameters by solving simultaneous linear equations, offering a noniterative approach.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed pole-zero modeling method provides a more accurate description of speech spectra compared to all-pole models.
    • The noniterative nature of the method makes it suitable for automatic speech analysis.
    • Validation on real speech data shows close agreement between pole-zero model spectra and direct Fourier analysis spectra.

    Conclusions:

    • The pole-zero model offers a significant improvement for speech spectral analysis, especially for challenging sounds like nasals.
    • The noniterative, equation-solving approach facilitates efficient and automated speech analysis.
    • This method enhances the accuracy of speech representation in digital signal processing applications.
