DISCRETE COMPONENT EQUIVALENT-CIRCUIT FOR WEBSTER HORNS

A general equivalent circuit for the family of common acoustic horns h as been presented. Using simple matrix manipulation, the 'irregular' c onstituting equations of the hyperbolic horn theory have been reduced to a simpler form for which a discrete equivalent circuit could have b een derived. The advantage of the equivalent circuit is its simplicity and suitability for use in a quick analysis or synthesis using existi ng CAD packages dedicated to electrical circuit simulation.
