12.1.7 Digital antiresonator
An antiresonance (also called an antiformant or transfer-function zero pair) can be
realized by slight modifications to these equations. The frequency response of an
antiresonator is the mirror image of the response plotted in Figure 12-5 (i.e. replace
dB by -dB). An antiresonator is used in the synthesizer to shape the spectrum of
the voicing source and another is used to simulate the effects of nasalization in the
cascade model of the vocal tract transfer function.
The output of an antiformant resonator, y (nT'), is related to the input x(nT') by
the equation:
