Speech Enhancement with Fractional Fourier Transform

Abstract

The Fast Discrete Fourier Transform is commonly analysis method for speech signal processing in frequency domain. It has the problem of adjusting window size for desired resolution. But the Fractional Fourier Transform can have both time domain and frequency domain processing capabilities. This paper performs global processing by combining Fractional Fourier Transform and wavelet multi-scale local elimination on the speech signal and enhancement experiment with RNN neural network. The experimental results show that the speech signal is processed both locally by wavelet and globally by Fractional Fourier Transform. The combination of the two allows the speech signal to take into account both local and global information in the time and frequency domain.
