Lecture 30 Blog, ECE438 Fall 2011, Prof. Boutin
Wednesday November, 2011 (Week 11) - See Course Outline.
Today we observed that the vocal tract acts like a resonator by amplifying the certain frequencies called "natural frequencies". We also observed that the value of these natural frequencies are prescribes by the poles of the transfer function of the vocal tract (which are induced by the transition between tubes of different diameters in our model).
Action items
- Solve this problem on zero padding and DFT.
- continue working on HW7.
- Share your advice/feedback about ENGR131 and 132. For example, how does the course fit with the rest of the ECE curriculum? What is the most important thing you learned in that course? Is there something you wish was added to the course?
