چکیده
This correspondence demonstrates that the line spectral frequencies (LSFs) are the pole and zero frequencies of the glottal driving-point impedance of a discrete matched-impedance vocal-tract model. Several well-known characteristics of the LSFs, including the interlacing of pole and zero frequencies, are shown to follow naturally from this proof.

A Simulation Study on the Effect of Glottal Boundary Conditions on Vocal Tract Formants
In the source-filter theory, the complete closure of the glottis is assumed as a glottal boundary condition. However, such assumption of glottal closure in the source-filter theory is not strictly satisfied in actual utterance. Therefore, it is considered that acoustic features of the glottis and the subglottal region may affect vocal tract formants. In this study, we investigated how differenc...
متن کاملCharacterising vowel phonation by fundamental spectral normalisation of LX-waveforms
Objective spectral reference standards for normal vowel phonation are described. Application in larynx cancer monitoring is envisaged. 120 individuals contributed to a database of vowels lad and /i/ in the form of trans-larynx impedance time series captured using an electrolaryngograph. The impedance signals are used for iterated power spectral estimation followed by spectral intra-pooling for ...
متن کاملSource-Filter Interaction in Speaking and Singing is Nonlinear
Many aspects of speech production have been successfully described by a linear sourcefilter theory. Linearity implies that the source-filter combination, which provides the acoustic output at the mouth, can be characterized by mathematical convolution in the time domain (or by multiplication in the frequency domain) of two independent functions representing the source and the filter. With this ...
متن کاملExperimental evaluation of inverse filtering using physical systems with known glottal flow and tract characteristics.
The technique presented here uses an impedance head to measure the input impedance spectrum of a physical model of a vocal tract, and then to inject a known glottal flow waveform into the tract. The sound measured outside the mouth is used to evaluate inverse filtering techniques by comparison with the known glottal flow and measured acoustical properties of the tract. The normalized least squa...
متن کاملModal synthesis and modeling of vowels
A new simple model for vocal tract (VT) acoustics is presented. The model is based on a systems approach applied to the modes of the VT and the subglottal cavities. Glottal interaction with the ability to produce pitch-synchronous modulation effects is included as well as the lip radiation impedance. The synthesized vowels have spectral and temporal features close to natural ones. They are almo...
