An automated calibration system of sound level meters was developed and tested. As a standard sound source, the speaker unit(Forstex FE208) cabineted by 440$\times$390$\times$490 $\textrm{mm}^3$(LHW) volume wood box was adopted. Including this source, the driving part was found out to have a good linearity of sound pressure output vs AC voltage input. The Hybrid-Bisect/Newton-Raphson method modified by the linearity was adopted as a searching algorithm. Uisng GPIB interface, the console PC make the control, measurements, and calculations and finally make the accumulation of useful data and results automatically by the instructon in the program coded by C languate. Several trials of automatic calibration using this developed system give the reliable results.

초음파 변환기의 음향 특성 평가항목으로는 주파수에 따른 출력특성, 입력 전압에 대한 출력의 선형성(방사컨덕턴스), 방사음장의 지향성 및 대칭성 등을 들 수 있다. 평면 주사기법은 교정된 하이드로폰을 이용하여, 초음파 변환기에서 방사된 음파가 형성하는 음장의 분포를 측정하는 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 이들을 측정할 수 있는 장치로 DC servo모터를 장착한 3 축 이송 장치와 가로 400 mm, 세로 800 mm, 높이 400 m를 갖는 수조를 제작하고 제어프로그램을 개발하여 상온의 증류수에 형성된 초음파 음장의 공간 분포를 실험하여, 이론적 예측값과 비교하였다.

음향측정에 사용되는 무향실은 각종 정밀측정을 하는데 기본적인 중요설비 로 소리의 환경을 인위적으로 만든 설비이다. 무향실은 자유음장을 형성하는 실로 실내 모든면에서 음을 완전히 흡수하여 "음의 반사가 없는 실"을 말하 며, 실제 주변환경에서는 찾아보기 힘든 일이다. 이전에는 주로 Speaker나 Microphone등의 지향특성 및 교정에만 국한되어 사용했지만 현재 각종 기계 류의 방사 Power측정, 측정실내의 객관적인 교정검사, 기자재의 객관적인 음 향측정 데이터 비교평가등 무향실을 이용한 음향분석연구가 각 분야에서 광 범위하게 이용되어지고 있다.이용되어지고 있다.

A computer simulation is performed on the effectiveness of the active minimization of harmonically excited enclosed sound fields for producing global reduction in the amplitude of the pressure fluctuations. In this study for the appreciable reductions in total time averaged acoustic potential energy, $E_{pp}$, the transducer location strategies for three dimensional active noise control is presented based on a state space modal which approximates the closed acoustic field.In this study, the above theoretical basis is used to investigate the application of active control to sound fields of low modal density. By the used of room-like 3-dimensional rectangular enclosure it is demonstrated that the reductions in $E_{pp}$ can be achieved by using a single secondary source, provided that the source is placed within the half a wavelength from the primary source and placed away from nodal line of the sound field. Concerning the reductions in $E_{pp}$ by minimzing the pressure in sound fields by the use of 3-dimensional rectangular enclosure, the effects of the number of sensors and the locations of these sensors are investigated. When a few modes dominate the response it is found that if only a limited number of sensors are located away from nodal line and located at the pressure maxima of the sound field such as at each corner of a rectangular enclosure.

In this paper we propose a method for measuring the shear modulus of an ultrasound soft tissue phantom using an acoustic radiation force. The proposed method quantitatively determines the shear modulus based on the rise time of a displacement induced by an acoustic radiation force at the focal point of a focused ultrasound beam. The shear wave speed and shear modulus obtained from the proposed method and a shear wave propagation method were compared to verify the validity of the proposed method. In the shear wave propagation method, the shear modulus is first computed by measuring the propagating speed of a shear wave induced in a phantom by a limited-diffraction transmit field, and then was compared to that obtained with the proposed method in an ultrasound data acquisition system calibrated based on the first computed shear modulus. The relative errors between the two methods were found to be 4% for shear wave speed and less than 9% for shear modulus, confirming the usefulness of the proposed method.
