5 Vocal Tract Modeling Other approaches seek to reduce bit rates by mimicking the mechanics of speech production. To produce the human voice, speakers force bursts of air through their vocal chords where they pick up loudness and pitch and become audible energy. Passing along the vocal tract, this energy is modified by resonances called formants that filter and shape the spectrums of the sound bursts. At the tongue, lips, and throat, sibilants (hisses) and plosives (pops) are added. The result is the generation of a stream of phonemes that add up to recognizable words spoken in a manner characteristic of the speaker.
Since the eye is more sensitive to changes in larger areas than in smaller areas, the lower spatial frequency coefficients are more important than the higher spatial frequency coefficients.
While observing common signal standards so that consumers can use the same receiver for all stations, most television stations operate independently, although, for programming purposes, they may be affiliated with other broadcasters. 32 In addition, geostationary satellites distribute digital television signals to individual viewers, and provide feeds for broadcast and cable entities. 4). As a result, many (five or more) digital channels may be carried in a 6 MHz bandwidth channel and the 700 MHz to 900 MHz spectrum is available for other purposes.
