Abstract

A voiced-sound frequency analysis and display system displays two forms of spectral information about the signal: (1) the first and second formants as a point on an X-Y grid of a cathode ray tube, and (2) the full spectrum as a bar graph on an oscilloscope. Two sets of filters with associated circuitry perform the analysis. A scanning (peak hunting) second-formant selector circuit is also disclosed.
