We propose the computation reduction method of real root method that is used in the EVRC(Enhanced Variable Rate Codec) system. The real root method is that if polynomial equations have the real roots, we are able to find those and transform them into LSP. However, this method takes much time to compute, because the root searching is processed sequentially in frequency region. But, the important characteristic of LSP is that most of coefficients are occurred in specific frequency region. So, to reduce the computation time of real root, we used the met scale that is linear below 1kHz and logarithmic above. In order to compare real root method with proposed method, we measured the following two. First, we compared the position of transformed LSP(Line Spectrum Pairs) parameters in the proposed method with these of real root method. Second, we measured how long computation time is reduced. The experimental result is that the searching time was reduced by about 48% in average without the change of LSP parameters.
