Composite Vocal Tract

Illustrates vocal tract response, glottal pulse, radiation response for voiced and unvoiced speech

Speech processing designates a team consisting of Prof. Lawrence Rabiner (Rutgers University and University of California, Santa Barbara), Prof. Ronald Schafer (Stanford University), Kirty Vedula and Siva Yedithi (Rutgers University). This exercise is one of a set of speech processing exercises that are intended to supplement the teaching material in the textbook “Theory and Applications of Digital Speech Processing” by L R Rabiner and R W Schafer.
This MATLAB exercise illustrates the role of each of the three components of the speech model for voiced and for unvoiced (whispered) speech sounds, namely the vocal tract response, the glottal pulse (for voiced sounds), and the radiation response at the lips.
