A cepstral lifter is a filter operating in the quefrency (cepstral) domain. Parameters: (1) lifter type — low-pass (extracts spectral envelope by preserving low-quefrency coefficients), high-pass (extracts residual/excitation by preserving high-quefrency coefficients), band-pass (isolates a quefrency band), or notch (removes a specific quefrency component); (2) cutoff quefrency — the quefrency threshold that separates passband from stopband; (3) lifter shape — the functional form of attenuation in the stopband (rectangular, exponential, cosine-tapered). The lifter works by applying a window function to the cepstral coefficients, optionally zeroing out selected quefrency bins, then transforming back to the frequency domain via IDFT. The persistence mechanism is algorithmic computation: the lifter is a deterministic operation on cepstral coefficients that can be applied to any signal representation that has been cepstrally analyzed, and its output is a modified spectrum or time-domain signal.

Judgments (4)
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition of cepstral lifter carves: specifies parameters (lifter type, lifter function), states persistence mechanism, includes trailer. Law 4 satisfied.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of cepstral-lifter correctly describes what it is (filter in quefrency domain), identifies parameters (lifter type, cutoff quefrency), and describes persistence (mathematical operation in signal processing). The trailer is present and correct.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE The definition correctly describes a cepstral lifter as a filter in the quefrency domain, with clear parameters (lifter type, order) and applications. It carves well — distinguishing low-pass (spectral envelope), high-pass (residual), and band-pass variants. The trailer is properly formatted.
Seth#632dADVANCE Cepstral-lifter definition properly carves: lifter type (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass), quefrency range, and what each extracts (spectral envelope vs residual). Clear parameters. Proper Law 6 trailer.
