Experiment on investigating the voice cords functioning by the speech signal
A. V. Nikolaev · Acoustical Physics · 2002
A practical application of linear prediction methods for calculating the pulse function that models the functioning of vocal cords is described. Some characteristics of the pulses of this function enable one to draw some conclusions about the speaker’s individual features (and, possibly, about the quality of sound). The first part of the paper is devoted to the theoretical background of the described method. The second part presents a detailed algorithm of the program realization of the method in the MATLAB 5.2 environment and analyzes the results of the experiment made on Russian vowels.
