Abstract:
1. A received speech signal processing apparatus comprising: a formant frequency detecting unit for detecting a formant frequency contained in a received speech signal; and a formant frequency emphasizing processing unit for emphasizing the formant frequency, on the received speech signal, detected by the formant frequency detecting unit, wherein the formant frequency detecting unit is arranged to analyze the frequency of the received speech signal to detect a frequency envelop of the same received speech signal, and the formant frequency emphasizing processing unit effects the formant frequency emphasizing processing based on information of the frequency envelop detected by the formant frequency detecting unit, wherein the formant frequency detecting unit is configured to effect an LPC analysis on the received speech signal and calculate a linear prediction coefficient, and a filter coefficient adjusting unit for adjusting the linear prediction coefficient calculated by the formant frequency detecting unit is interposed between the formant frequency detecting unit and the formant frequency emphasizing processing unit.
