Information technology devices, such as cellular phones, MP3s and so on, due to restrictions of space, require thin and small micro-speakers to generate sound. The reduction of the size of micro-speakers has resulted in the decrease of sound quality, due to such factors as frequency range and sound pressure level. In this study, the acoustical properties of oval microspeakers has been studied as a function of pattern shape on the diaphragm. The other conditions of micro-speakers, except for the pattern, was not changed. When the pattern is present on the diaphragm and the shape of pattern was a whirlwind, the resonance frequency was reduced due to the decrease of tensile strength of diaphragm. The patterns presented in the semi-minor axis of diaphragm did not effect a change of resonance frequency. However, increasing the number of patterns in the semimajor axis of diaphragm became a reason for the decrease of resonance frequency on edge side. When the depth of pattern on edge side was increased, the resonance frequency was decreased due to reduction of geometrical stiffness. If the height of edge and dome were increased, the resonance frequency and geometrical stiffness rapidly increased. After reaching the maximum values, they began to decrease with the continuous increase of height.

The effect of $CeO_2$ as a sintering additive on the microstructure and the piezoelectric property of yPb$(Sb_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})O_3$-(1-y)Pb$(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ ($0{\leq}y{\leq}0.1$, PSN-PZT) for a hypersonic sound speaker (HSS) application was investigated. The samples were sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the samples were examined using XRD and FE-SEM, respectively. Study on the influence of $CeO_2$ additives on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties indicated that the $CeO_2$-added PSN-PZT system had a high piezoelectric properties. The optimized results of ${\varepsilon}_r=1209$, $K_p$=52% $d_{33}$=351(pC/N) and $Q_m$=1230.16 were obtained at 0.4 wt.% $CeO_2$-added PSN-PZT.

도로공사구간의 안전성 증대를 위해 공사구간에 진입하는 운전자에게 전방상황에 대한 사전인지와 적절한 회피행동을 유도할 수 있는 경고정보를 제공하는 것은 효과적인 기술적 대안이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 지향성 스피커를 이용하여 운전자에게 음성경고를 제공하여 안전운전을 유도하는 기술의 타당성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 현장실험을 수행하였으며, 운전자의 경고정보 인지도 및 선호도, 공사구간 접근차량의 속도, 그리고 소음을 평가지표로 설정하여 수집된 자료를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 음성경고가 도로공사구간에 접근하는 운전자의 주위 환기를 위해서 긍정적으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 반면 소음으로 인한 부정적인 효과도 발생할 수 있음을 관찰하였다. 따라서 음성 경고 제공 방식에 대한 개선을 통해 음성 정보 제공의 실효성을 증대시킬 필요가 있다. 또한 본 연구의 결과물은 향후 공사구간 안전성 증대를 위한 체계적인 음성경고정보시스템 개발을 위해 유용한 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Near-field acoustic holography is a powerful tool to visualize sound sources. This method requires pressure measurement at many points for a good hologram. Thus one has to measure carefully so that errors due to the uncertainty of position, sensor mismatch, and so on are reduced. A method to solve this problem is to use a well-designed measurement system. This paper introduces a sound visualization system at center for noise and vibration control (NOVIC), KAIST, and addresses the advantages in terms of the error reduction. The system consists of array microphones, array jigs, a system to control the position and the velocity of the jigs, a data acquisition system, and a monitoring system. This paper also shows some sound visualization results when the system is applied to a speaker and a computer. The results verifies that the sound visualization system is useful for identifying sound sources.

본 연구는 최근 멀티미디어 기기의 소형화추세에 따라 음향재생 장치인 스피커 시스템을 멀티미디어 시스템의 규격에 적합하게 구성하기 위해 저음재생용 소형스피커의 개발을 목표로 하였다. 연구 방법으로는 등가회로 해석법을 활용하여 기본 공진주파수를 구하고 이에 대응하는 스피커 부품들의 구조적인 변경 및 재질의 변경 등 다수 회의 반복적인 설계, 제작에 의하여 구현되었다. 그 결과로서 저음재생 특성이 우수한 80 mm 소형 동전형 스피커가 개발되었다. 제작된 저음재생용 소형 스피커의 무향실 내에서 성능 측정 결과, 수치 시뮬레이션인 등가회로법에 의한 기본 공진주파수는 81 Hz인 반면 설계 제작된 최적 모델의 기본 공진주파수는 79 Hz로 측정되었다. 그리고 스피커의 전방 1 m 거리에서 음향재생 주파수 대역은 80 Hz ∼ 15 kHz, 평균 음압레벨은 84±2 dB로 나타났다. 그리고 스피커의 음향특성에 있어서 음질에 가장 중요한 영향을 미치는 고조파 왜율은 기존의 전 대역 80 mm 스피커에서의 제 2차 고조파 왜율 (at 400 Hz)은 0.9%, 제 3차 고조파 왜율 (at 100 Hz)은 6%인 반면 본 개발품에서 제 2차 고조파 왜율 (at 400 Hz)은 0.5%, 제 3차 고조파 왜율 (at 100 Hz)이 1.8%로 크게 개선되었다.

Background and Objectives : Many studies have described and analyzed singer's formant and it has been shown that the epilaryngeal tube in the human airway is responsible for vocal ring, or the singer's formant. A similar phenomenon produced by trained singers in their speech led some authors to examine the speaker's ring. This study was designed to analyze the speaking voice of the singers and speaker's ring. Baterials and Methods : Ten tenors, fifteen baritones, fifteen sopranos and ten mezzo sopranos attending the music college, department of vocal music were chosen for this study. Fifteen male and fifteen female untrained normal speakers were chosen for control group. Each subject was asked to produce a sample of a sustained spoken vowel /ah/ sound for at least five seconds and read sentence 'Kaeul'. The sound data was analyzed using the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) - based power spectrum, Long term average(LTA) power spectrum using the FFT algorithm of the Computerized Speech Lab(CSL, Kay elemetrics, Model 4300B, USA). Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences(SPSS). Results : For LTA Power spectrum of/ah/ sound, a significant increase was seen in the 2,500-3,500Hz region(p<0.01) in four trained singer group compared with untrained speaker group, and a significant increase in the 9,000-10,000Hz region(p<0.01) in soparano group. Similarly, in sentence 'Kaeul', there was a significant increase in energy in the tenor, baritone, mezzo soprano group compared with the untrained speaker group in the 2,500-3,500Hz region(p<0.01), and a significant increase in all frequency region(p<0.01) in the soprano group. Conclusions : The LTA power spectrum suggests that trained singers group show more energy concentration in the 'singer's formant' region in the speaking voice, and authors believe this region to be the 'speaker's ring'. Further research is needed on the effect of singing training on the resonance of the speaking voice.

The present study aims to investigate the effects of speaker location on the speech intelligibility in a classroom. In order to this, acoustic measurements were undertaken in a classroom with three different sound source locations such as center of front wall (FC), both sides of front wall (FS) and the center of ceiling (CC). SPL, RT, $D_{50}$, RASTI were measured in the 9 measurement points with same sound power level of sound source and MLS was used as the sound source signal. Also, subjective listening tests were carried out using Korean language listening materials which were recorded in an anechoic chamber. The recorded syllables were replayed and recorded again in the classroom with same sound source at three different locations and listening tests were undertaken to 20 respondents who were asked to write the correct syllables which were recorded in the classroom. The results show that higher sound intelligibility ($D_{50}$ of $47\%$, RASTI of 0.56) was obtained when sound source was located at the FS. The results also show that high sound intelligibility was obtained at the area nearby walls.

최근 3차원 가상현실에서의 몰입도를 높이기 위해 실감 음향 분야의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 현재의 가상현실에서 적용되는 실감 음향 생성 장치는 음원의 방위각과 위상에 대한 고려는 적용되어 있지만, 음향이 청자에게 다가오고 멀어질 때 발생하는 도플러 효과를 충분히 반영하고 있는 기술이 부족한 현실이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가상현실에서의 몰입감을 향상하기 위하여 입체음향 채널의 공간 회전축 스피커를 통해 도플러 효과가 더해진 3차원 입체 증감 음향을 제공하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 가상의 3차원 공간상에 위치하는 음원을 사용자가 있는 실제 공간에 대응시키고, 가상 음원의 위치에 따라 각각의 공간 회전축 스피커가 출력하는 출력량, 위상차 그리고 회전 각도를 조절해 3차원 실감 음향을 제공한다. 공간 회전축 스피커가 회전하면서 발생하는 회전음원의 자연적인 도플러 효과와 출력 음원의 주파수 변조를 통한 인위적인 도플러 효과가 더해져 청자에게 음원의 원근감을 더욱 사실적으로 느낄 수 있는 입체 증감 음향의 효과를 제공하게 된다.

It is necessary to predict the sound pressure level(SPL) in rooms before designing an apartment when exterior noises are produced. In order to predict SPL for an apartment that has some specific exterior noises, the following should be known: the characteristics of outdoor noise, sound insulation performance and sound level differences of each room. The purpose of this study is to find out the possibility of predicting sound pressure level of rooms in an apartment by analysing sound level differences among rooms. Sound sources used in this experiment are construction noise, aircraft noise, railroad noise, road traffic noise and white noise as a reference to compare with the previous four. These noises were recorded and reproduced by speaker. As a result, we found that within the sound reduction pattern, the sound difference level appeared uniform depending on the sound insulation characteristics of the windows installed when facing the noise source. When the windows having the same acoustic performance were installed, the SPL in each room resulted in nearly the same values.
