Summary: 
This paper describes a system that can enchance the speech quality degradation due to severe band limitation during speech transmission. We have already proposed a spectrum widening method that utilizes aliasing in sampling rate conversion and digital filtering for spectrum shaping. This paper proposes a new method that offers improved performance in terms of the spectrum distortion characteristics. Implementation procedures are clarified, and its performance is discussed. The proposed method can effectively enhance speech quality.
