LPC spectra estimate

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;
a = lpc(x,p);

X t(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; Start a New Thread

Hyee Wang,

You must use the gain term to "lift" the log spectrum (in dB). It should
be returned by your lpc analysis function.

Best,

Miguel

Hyee Wang,

The "correct" alternative is the one that multiplies by sqrt(residual
var). Please note that the LP spectral envelope is biased towards the
spectral peaks but does not quite touch them!

With some friend's help,I have acquired the exact multiplication
factor,it is sqrt(e*N) instead.

Although almost 90 percent of friends think the true multiplication
factor is sqrt(e), but the real one is
sqrt(e*N) instead.
where,e refer to as the variance of prediction error ,the returned
value from lpc function.
N is the signal length.
Thank Rune Allnor.
But I am still puzzled with Why use energy sqrt(e*N) ,not power
(virance) sqrt(e), to be the true multiplication factor.
According to LPC theory,synthesis filter
H = G./[1-sum(ai.*Z.(-i))],
E(n) = s(n) - sp(n) = G*e(n);
here,E(n) refer to as lpc pediction error, and e(n) refer to as
excitation.
s(n) is the input speech,sp(n) is the estimated signal.
Assume the variance of e(n) to be 1.
sum( E(n)*E(n)) = G.^2*sum( e(n)*e(n)) = G.^2* N;
then G^2 = [sum( E(n)*E(n) ) ] ./ N.
It should be variance(power),not energy. Why?
Please tell the principle,not try to match the 2 spectrum curves
rouglyh without explanation.
Here is the matlab script which use " sqrt(e*N)" to illustrate it.
N = 25600;
[x,fs] = wavread('lpc.wav',N); % any speech signal can be used
p;
[a,e] = lpc(x,p);
X t(x);
X = X(1:N/2+1)';
X = 10*log10(abs(X).^2);
Z = fft(a,N);
Z1 = 1./Z(1:N/2+1);
Z = Z1.*sqrt(e*N); % to use sqrt(e*N),not sqrt(e),Why?
Z = 10*log10(abs(Z).^2);
figure;
plot(X);
hold on;
plot(Z,'r');
grid;
--- Z = Z1.*sqrt(e*N); % to use sqrt(e*N),not sqrt(e),Why?
Any comments would be apprecited.
