Using axially symmetric deformed configuration mixing and angular momentum projection techniques, we have studied the signature effects in the [pi][ital h][sub 11/2] bands of [sup 147]La, [sup 149]Pr, and [sup 151]Pm nuclei. Effects of rotation alignment on the signature splitting in energy and signature inversion in the [ital B]([ital E]2,[ital I][r arrow][ital I][minus]1) values are discussed. We find that transition from a strongly rotation-aligned limit to a weakly rotation-aligned (or more regular rotational behavior) regime or vice versa leads to signature inversion of the [ital B]([ital E]2) values.
