Figure 1

Real and imaginary components of patch NLC. (A) Real component of complex NLC across interrogating frequency. Note continuous decrease as frequency increases. Fits are made to Eq. (1) to extract the 2-state (blue line) response at selected frequencies. Vh is average between 0.244 and 2.44 kHz. (B) Imaginary component of complex NLC. In this case, magnitude increases with frequency, but there is not a full reciprocal trade-off with the real component. (C) Plot of the 2-state fits across frequency. Superimposed is the PZE model response at Vh of Rabbitt (2020), which shows general agreement within this bandwidth. (D) Plot of the absolute magnitude of NLC, namely, \(\sqrt{Re{\left(NLC\right)}^{2}+Im{\left(NLC\right)}^{2}}\), indicating a continuous reduction of prestin activity across frequency.
