Abstract
The spectral envelope of speech signals are characterized by LSP (line spectral pair) parameters, termed w.sub.i and .theta..sub.i. In a speech synthesizer the control parameters for the filter may be a.sub.i =-2 cos w.sub.i and b.sub.i =-2 cos .theta..sub.i. The synthesizer filter is essentially an all pole filter consisting of two feedback paths each of which has a transfer function having zeroes on a unit circle in the complex plane.
