Spectral Analysis of Speech Signals: FFT and LPC, Exams of Health sciences

An overview of the application of fast fourier transform (fft) and linear predictive coding (lpc) in the analysis of speech signals. It covers key concepts such as the vocal tract transfer function, the usefulness of fft and lpc displays for analyzing the sound source and vocal tract filter, the definition and significance of formants, and the differences between the information provided by fft and lpc spectra. The document addresses several important questions related to these topics, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in speech signal processing and acoustic phonetics.

COMD 5070 Spectra - FFT, LPC Week 3,
Lecture 1, Part 2 with Complete Solutions
Does the vocal tract transfer function apply when sound is being phonated or
whispered? - ANSWER-both
Is the FFT display useful for displaying features of the sound source or the vocal tract
filter? - ANSWER-the sound source
Is the LPC display useful for displaying features of the sound source or the vocal tract
filter? - ANSWER-vocal tract filter
T or F: The LPC spectrum will show us what the vocal tract is doing - what its
resonance frequencies are relative to one another. - ANSWER-T
What are formants? - ANSWER-resonant energy peaks in the vocal tract transfer
function
What are the two spectrum discussed in this class? - ANSWER-FFT and LPC
What do peaks of an LPC spectrum represent? - ANSWER-formants
What do peaks on an FFT spectrum represent? - ANSWER-harmonic components
What does a FFT spectrum show us? - ANSWER-shows us the range of harmonics that
are present in sound, each peak shows a harmonic
What does FFT stand for? - ANSWER-fast Fourier transform
What does LPC stand for? - ANSWER-linear predictive coding
What does the LPC show us? - ANSWER-spectral envelope
What does the LPC spectrum reveal - ANSWER-what the vocal tract filter is doing
What will FFT not show us very well? - ANSWER-formants
