Abstract:
This brief report describes a small study which was undertaken with nine synthetic vowel tokens, in an effort to demonstrate the validity of the reassigned spectrogram as a formant measurement tool. The reassigned spectrogram's performance is also compared with that of a typical pitch-asynchronous linear predictive analysis and is found to be superior. In this study, reassigned spectrograms were further processed to highlight the formants and then were used to measure these synthetic vowel formants generally to within 0.5% of their known true values, far surpassing the accuracy of a typical linear predictive analysis procedure which was inaccurate by as much as 17%. The overall accuracy of reassigned spectrographic formant measurement is thus demonstrated in these cases.

In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
