High-frequency bottom loss measurements for grazing angle of $82^{\circ}$ in frequency range 17-40 kHz were made in Jinhae bay in the southern part of Korea. Observations of bottom loss showed the strong variation as a function of frequency, which were compared to the predicted values using two-layered sediment reflection model. The geoacoustic parameters including sound speed, density and attenuation coefficient for the second sediment layer were predicted from the empirical relations with the mean grain size obtained from sediment core analysis. The geoacoustic parameters for the surficial sediment layer were inverted using Monte Carlo inversion algorithm. A sensitivity study for the geoacoustic parameters showed that the thickness of surficial sediment layer was most sensitive to the variation of the bottom loss.

Acoustic characteristics of water sediment were experimentally studied in laboratory. Water saturated sand sediment less than the grain size of 0.5 mm diameter is uniformly distributed in an acryl box (100 mm×100mm×42mm) with material thickness 1 mm. Pores in the acryl box are modeled as the structure of cylindrical pore tubes (diameter 3 mm and length 42 mm) filled with water. Cylindrical pore tubes have porosities 0%, 5%, 11%, 18% and 26 % controlled by the tube numbers. Transmitted acoustic waves through sand sediment specimen are analyzed as the functions of porosity and frequency from 0.3 MHz to 4 MHz. Transmitted acoustic waves are mixed with the first-kind wave from whole specimen and the second-kind wane from cylindrical pore tubes. For the center frequency 1 MHz, the first kind wave is dominant but for the center frequency 2.25 MHz, the second kind wave is dominant. In the case of the first-kind wave, as the porosity increases, the transmission coefficient decreases and the sound speed decreases to the sound speed of water. As the frequency increases, the transmission coefficient decreases but the sound speed is almost constant. In the case of the second-kind wave, as the porosity increases, the transmission coefficient increases but the sound speed is almost constant. The transmission coefficient and the sound speed are almost constant as a function of frequency.

Acoustic target strength (TS) is one of the most considerable design elements for survival capacities of the submarine. It needs to reduce acoustic TS that submarines are getting larger and larger, Alberich anechoic coatings are widely used as the representative method. In this paper, the finite element method (FEM) is used to analyze the reflection and transmission coefficients of Alberich anechoic coatings, which have periodic unit cells. The FEM results are compared with experimental results in the literature. Moreover, acoustic TS for the submarine is analyzed by using that result. Finally, it is shown that acoustic TS (Case 1: 10dB, Case 2: 6dB) are reduced due to the use of Alberich anechoic coatings.

The acoustic properties of various coatings for stringed musical instruments made were investigated. The applied coatings were urethane topcoat, oil stain and UV-curable epoxy coating. Acoustic properties of coatings inferred from the elastic modulus and the shear modulus that ware calculated from a resonance frequency and a damping measured by FFT analyzer. The relationship between elastic modulus and density and the relationship between elastic modulus and shear modulus of coatings for stringed musical instruments ware investigated as a function of coating thickness.

수십 kHz 주파수 대역에서 수중음향 투과 특성이 우수하며 기계적 물성 또한 우수한 수중음향 윈도우 재료를 개발하기 위하여 이층 구조를 가지는 폴리우레탄 시편을 제조하였으며 제조된 시편의 기계적 물성 및 수중음향 특성을 평가하였다. 이층 구조 폴리우레탄은 음향 투과 특성은 떨어지나 기계적 물성이 우수한 보호층과 기계적 물성은 떨어지나 음향 투과 특성이 우수한 음향투과층으로 이루어져 있으며 무접착 성형 방법을 이용하여 성공적으로 제조하였다. 제조된 이층 구조 폴리우레탄 시편은 보호층의 도입으로 표면 경도가 60 (shore A) 이상이었으며 감쇠 계수는 1.0dB/cm 내외를 나타내었다.

전화망을 이용한 음성인식 시스팀에서 출력신호의 반향에 의한 입력신호의 음질 열화현상을 막기위해서 적응디지털 필터를 이용한 반향제거기가 필수적이다. 대표적인 적응 필터 알고리즘인 LMS와 NLMS 들을 각각 이용한 적응 반향제거기들과 입/출력신호의 상관계수를 이용한 개선된 적응 필터 알고리즘의 성능을 비교하였다. 개선된 알고리즘의 경우 NLMS 알고리즘의 빠른 수렴특성을 가지면서도 더블톡(double talk)구간에서의 음질왜곡 현상을 LMS보다 개선시켰다.

일반적으로 매우 낮은 차단주파수를 가지는 FIR 저역통과 필터의 경우 그 과도영역의 폭이 상대적으로 매우 좁기 때문에 긴 임펄스 응답을 가지게 되며, 따라서 많은 계산량을 필요로 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는, FIR 필터의 계수를 서브샘플링(subsampling)하여 계산량의 현저한 감소를 도모하고, 그로 인하여 발생하는 주파수 영역의 이미지를 IIR 필터를 사용하여 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. IIR 필터로 인하여 발생하는 위상의 왜곡은 앞단의 FIR 필터의 계수를 조절함으로써 상쇄시킬 수 있다. 제안된 알고리듬을 채택할 경우, 동일한 성능의 일반 FIR 필터에 비하여 사용하는 메모리의 양은 거의 같으나, 계산량은 수십분의 일까지 감소시킬 수 있다.

In this paper, correlation between the headphone's acoustical characteristics and the subjective preferences is analyzed, and a possibility of predicting the subjective preferences using the acoustical characteristics is investigated, The headphone's acoustical characteristics include the total harmonic distortions, the variation of the frequency response which were measured by separate channel and the inter-aural correlation coefficients, Those characteristics were measured in a noise-free anechoic chamber, using a head and torso simulator, The subjective preferences were scored in terms of loudness, clearness, spaciousness, fullness and overall impression, In the subjective listening test, 12 subjects were participated who have plentiful listening experiences, The programs include 5 kinds of musics; korean popular song, pop song, light music, male-voice and classic, The 8 models of the headphones were employed, including 4 closed-type circumaural headphones, 2 open-type supraaural headphones and 2 intra-concha headphones, A significant test was carred on the results from the subjective test, using a two-way ANOVA test, The correlation coefficients between the acoustical parameters and the subjective preferences were computed, Experimental results showed that the variation of the magnitude of frequency response measured from a right channel revealed higher correlation with the subjective preferences. Whereas the inter-aural correlation coefficients have very low correlation coefficients.

단일 PZT보다 전기적 및 음향 특성비 우수한 Polymer/PZT 압전복합재료를 설계하고, 이것으로 초음과 트랜스듀서를 제작하여 음향특성을 고찰하였다. 폴리머의 체적 수축율 조정을 위한 충진제를 선정하고, PZT의 부피분율출 $30\~80\%$ 변화시켜 이것에 따른 전기적 특성 및 음향 특성을 비교, 검토하였다. PZT/Polymer 압전복합재료의 전기기계결합계수$(=k_{t})$는 단일 PZT 보다 우수하게 나타났으며, 음향 임피던스는 $3\~7[Mrayl]$ 정도로 낮게 조정할 수 있었다. 또한 Pulse-echo법으로 음향 송수신특성을 측정한 길과, 단일의 PZT를 사용한 경우보다 높은 진폭과 넓은 대역폭이 측정되어 음향 특성이 우수한 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
