Examples of Signals

 

 

Speech Signal

While speaking, the vocal cords constricts the flow of air from the lungs to the vocal tract. Due to this constriction the pressure in the lungs increase and the air flows out of the lungs and through the opening between the vocal cords. This flow of air is the source of energy for speech generation. A speech signal formed by exciting the vocal tract can be classified into two types. Voiced and unvoiced sounds. Voiced sounds are produced when the vocal cords vibrate in a relaxation mode.
