LPC spectra estimate Options

[hyeewang]

LPC spectra should correspond with the envelope of DFT spectra.

I plot LPC spectra with matlab. The LPC spectra keep the same shape with the envelope of DFT spectra.

But it is larger with a offset than the DFT envelope.

Why? Where it go wrong?

Here is the matlab script which illustrate it.

N = 2560;
[x,fs] = wavread('lpc.wav',N); % any speech signal can be used

p=12;
a = lpc(x,p);

X =fft(x);
X = X(1:N/2+1)';
X = 10*log10(abs(X).^2);

Z = fft(a,N);
Z = 1./Z(1:N/2+1);
Z = 10*log10(abs(Z).^2);

figure;
plot(X');
hold on;
plot(Z,'r');
grid;
offset = 10;
figure;
plot(X+offset);
hold on;
plot(Z,'r');
grid;

What you call "LPC spectra" (by which you probably mean the LPC synthesis filter response) is independent of the input signal's level. If I remember correctly Matlab's LPC function can return more than the set of filter coefficients -- one of those return values gives you a hint about the scaling of the input.
