(1.1)
Cepstral signal analysis is one out of several methods that enables us to nd out whether a signal contains periodic elements. The method can also be used to determine the pitch of a signal.
where F denotes fourier transform and x[n] is the signal in the time domain. |F {x[n]}|2 is the power spectrum estimat of the signal. When using cepstral analysis we are using new expressions to denote the characteristics. is the quefrency and the magnitude of c() is called the gamnitude.

The peak in the higher quefrencies indicates that there are some periodicity in the signal. The peak is located at the period of the fundamental frequency.
