Today obtained the transfer function for a simple approximation of the vocal tract consisting of an infinitesimally thin tube followed by two tubes of same length but different cross-areas. We noted that the transfer function contained

• a gain factor
• a two time unit time-delay
• an all pole filter.

We discussed the relationship between the mathematical espression we obtained for the transfer function and the action of the vocal tract on a pulse-train of air flow to produce voiced phonemes.

Action Items

• Keep working on HW 10. It is due Monday.
