Measurement of acoustic input impedance of the human vocal tract models
Radolf, Vojtěch ; Dlask, P. ; Otčenášek, Z.
Input acoustic impedance of the human vocal tract models made of plexiglass was measured using the measurement system BIAS 6. Three models A, I, U for vowels /a:/, /i:/ and /u:/ had simplified rectangular shape of the channel with constant height 20 mm. The fourth model A2D had elliptical channel shape. Resulted resonance frequencies were within the known ranges of formant frequencies of the vowels. The resonances of default configurations varied for different boundary positions in relation to measuring microphone in the range of 0.5 %, 3.9 %, 2.1%, 6.7 % for the models A2D, A, I and U, respectively. The resonances of direct and reversed models with the output closed differed in the range of 0.5 % and 1.8 % for A2D and A model, respectively. The measured and computed resonances differed in the range from 3.8 % for A2D to 14.6 % for the model I.
