Abstract :
Until now the human vocal tract area function and transfer function were studied from a time-series analysis of the speech signal alone, making some simple assumptions about the glottal source. In this paper we will present a study of the tract from measurements of the speech signal at the lips and the external throat-wall vibration signal near the glottis ("input/output measurements").
