Effects of wall impedance on transmission and attenuation of higher-order modes in vocal-tract model
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the effects of a wall impedance on the propagation of higher-order modes in a three-dimensional vocal-tract model. This model is constructed using an asymmetrically connected structure of rectangular acoustic tubes, and can parametrically represent acoustic characteristics in higher frequencies where the assumption of the plane wave propagation does not hold. The propagation constants of the higher-order modes are calculated taking account of the wall impedance. The resonance characteristics of the vocal-tract model are evaluated based on the transfer impedance between an input volume velocity and an output sound-pressure.

Computation of 3-d vocal tract acoustics based on mode-matching technique
A model for calculating the acoustic characteristics of 3-D vocal tract con guration is presented. A mode-matching technique and an impedance transformation are used to calculate the higher-order modes in this model where both propagative and evanescent higher-order modes are considered. A cascaded structure of rectangular acoustic tubes is introduced as an approximation of the real vocal tract...

متن کاملTransmission and Reflection Characteristics of a Concrete Block Wall Illuminated by a TM-polarized Obliquely incident wave
Typically, many of the modern buildings have concrete walls constructed from cinder block walls, that have periodic nature in their relative dielectric constant. This periodic nature excites higher-order Floquet harmonic modes at microwave frequencies, which leads to the propagation of scattered waves along with non-specular directions. Periodic structures exhibit different behaviors when illum...
متن کاملA model to represent propagation and radiation of higher-order modes for 3-d vocal-tract configuration
For the representation of acoustic characteristics of threedimensional vocal-tract shapes, it is necessary to consider the e ects of higher-order modes. This paper proposes an acoustic model of the vocal-tract which incorporates the coupling of the higher-order modes, including both propagative and evanescent modes. A cascaded structure of acoustic tubes connected asymmetrically is introduced a...
