Abstract
A cascade digital scattering linear model of the cochlea, suitable for Kemp echo cochlea characterization, is developed. This model stems fr om a unidimensional transmission line model in which nonuniform and lo ss properties are included. Its lattice structure is obtained by rephr asing the model equations in terms of incident and reflected scatterin g waves. A characterization of the cochlea, through the estimation of the width, the stiffness, and the damping of the basilar membrane, is made with the model and the results compared to data available in the literature.
