CORRELATION FUNCTION COMPUTING DEVICE

A correlation function computing device capable of computing a selfcorrelation function or the like is constructed to comprise a window function memorizing circuit, an A/D converting circuit for converting time series of a voice signal into digital values, a multiplier for calculating products of the window functions and the digitalized time series of the voice signal and also products required for the computation of the correlation function, a memory circuit for storing the products of the window functions and the digitalized time series of the voice signal delivered from the multiplier, a selector circuit for transferring data supplied to the multiplier, an adder for obtaining a product-sum in a divided manner, a memory circuit of a first-in and first-out type for storing the product-sum dividedly obtained in the adder, and a control circuit for controlling all of the aforementioned circuits.
