  • Pressure distribution is measured by way microphones to identify noise sources in the space. For example, beam-forming method or acoustic holography use phase information to identify the source. Therefore, the phase is significant information to correctly identify the source position. However, due to the microphone characteristics and measuring systems, measured signals always have errors, which make the identification difficult. Therefore, phase calibration of microphones is needed. Duct and speaker systems are generally used as calibrators. Acoustic characteristics of the calibrator are, of course, functions of many Parameters of the system: i.e. duct size, frequency, and microphone spacing. In this paper, design parameters which effect on the performance and size of the calibrators are considered. Then the parameters would be applied to design and real product of the phase-calibrator.

  • The present study aims to investigate the feasibility of using a simple nonlinear acoustic method for the assessment of bone status and osteoporosis in trabecular bone. Correlations of linear and nonlinear ultrasound parameters with the apparent bone density were obtained in 32 bovine femoral trabecular bone samples. Highly significant positive correlations were observed between the apparent bone density and the two linear ultrasound parameters, the speed of sound (SOS) and the normalized broadband ultrasound attenuation (nBUA), with Spearman's correlation coefficients of r = 0.85 and 0.77. In contrast, the apparent bone density was found to be negatively correlated with the nonlinear ultrasound parameter introduced in the present study, the logarithmic difference between the power spectrum levels of the fundamental frequency and the second harmonic (PSL1-PSL2), with the highest correlation coefficient of r = -0.92. These results suggest that the PSL1-PSL2, in addition to the SOS and the nBUA, may be useful for the assessment of bone status and osteoporosis.

  • Nonlinearity parameter is an inherent property of materials measuring fundamental acoustic amplitude($A_1$) and second harmonic amplitude($A_2$). However, measurement of $A_1$ and $A_2$ has complex calibration procedure, many researchers prefer to measure relative nonlinearity parameter rather than absolute nonlinearity parameter. But, relative nonlinearity parameter is only detect materials degradation with various degradation samples, it is limited application in determining third order elastic constants of materials. Therefore, in this study, the piezoelectric detection method is adopted to measure absolute nonlinearity parameter due to experimental simplicity compare to capacitive detector. Linearity of measurement system is verified by $A_1^2vsA_2$ plot, and we measured ultrasonic nonlinearity parameters of fused silica and Al2024-T4.

  • Ship radiated noise is an infortant parameter which dtermines Anti Submarine Warfare(ASW) countermeansure or passive Sonar detection and classification performance. Its measurement should be performed under controlled ocean acoustic environment. In data reduction of the measured data from hydrophone array, theeffect fo ambient noise, surface reflection and bottom reflection etc. should be compensated to obtain the source level of the ship radiated noise. This study describes the measurement hydrophone array design criteria based on the analysis of transimission anomaly due to the surface reflection.

  • The problem of sound source localization is to determine the position of sound sources using the measurement of the acoustic signals received by microphones. To develop a good sound source localization system which is applicable to a mobile platform such as robots, a time delay estimator with low computational complexity and robustness to background noise or reverberations is necessary. In this paper, an explicit adaptive time delay estimation method for a sound source localization system is proposed. Proposed explicit adaptive time estimation algorithm employs direct adaptation of the delay parameter using a transform-based optimization technique, rather than...
