Abstract

A speech signal processing system in which the correlation is removed from the sample values of a speech waveform supplied to an inverse-filter for obtaining sample values of a prediction residual waveform, phase-equalizing filter coefficients are determined to have phase-characteristic inverse to that of the prediction residual waveform at each pitch position of the speech waveform, the phase-equalizing filter coefficients are set as filter coefficients of the phase-equalizing filter, and the speech waveform or the prediction residual waveform is passed through the phase-equalizing filter, thereby zero-phasing the prediction residual waveform or the prediction residual waveform component in the speech waveform and concentrating energy around the pitch position.
