Re: Phd copy request (Weintraub 1985)
Hi Marc,
Unfortunately, I don't have any copy of Weintraub's Ph.D. However, I think you
can order it from Stanford Library.
Anyway, the resynthesis you are talking about is straightforward. Since the
gammatone filterbank used by Guy Brown and Martin Cooke is Infinite Impulse
Response (IIR) , the phase delay introduced in each channel is different and
not the same over the filterbank. Therefore, to compensate for those delays,
you need to invert the signals from the synthesis stage or equivalently invert
the gammatone filters (more specifically their impulse response) at the
resynthesis stage so that the phase delays cancel out. You should then
re-invert the reconstructed signal to regenerate the sound in the correct
sequence.
Hope this can help.
Regards,
Ramin
