In this paper, 3D range sensor is applied to the sensor-based widerange microphone system for lectures. Since the 2D range sensor measures the shortest distance of the speaker, an error occurs and the performance is degraded. The 3D sensor provides a 160×60 distance image so that the position of the speaker can be obtained with accuracy. We propose a method for obtaining the distance per pixel required to determine the absolute position of the speaker from the distance image. The proposed array microphone system using the 3D sensor shows the improvement of 0.8~1.5dB compared to the previous works using 2D sensor.

In this paper, we propose a widerange array microphone for lecturer tracked with Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform (FMCW) radar sensor. Time Difference-of-Arrival (TDoA) is often used as audio tracking, but the tracking accuracy is poor because the frequency of the voice is low and the relative frequency change is large. FMCW radar has a simple structure and is used to detect obstacles for vehicles, and the resolution can be archived to several centimeter. It is shown that the sensor is useful for detecting a speaker in open area such as a lecture, and we propose an wide range 4-element array microphone beamforming system. Through some experiments, the proposed system is able to adequately track the location and showed a 8.6dB improvement over the selection of the best microphone.

In this paper, a wide-range microphone system for lectures using dual 3D sensors is proposed. A previous work using a single sensor had lowering the detecting threshold to support wide-area. However it was found that an error occurred when lecturer wears clothes with low reflectivity or has small body size. When multiple sensors are used to expand the coverage it could be cause various problems. Each sensor could show different distance to the same target. We derive the rotation angle and and compensate for lecturing microphone system using sensors on the line. The proposed method shows a little improvement in performance by about 1dB compared to the previous works but the performance is uniform in all areas regardless of reflectivity.

A simplified view of array design and application process was introduced. Array design is critical to achieve a successful phased array measurements. A planar microphone array is designed to produce optimum performance and also to fit economic requirement in integrating data acquisition system. Certain performance characteristics are of primary concern when designing arrays. These characteristics include array resolution, spatial aliasing and array sidelobe suppression. Every array has its directional pattern that shows such characteristics. Assuming that a monopole source is located in center, beam-patterns have been simulated varying measurement conditions such as number of sensors. array aperture size, distance between array and source, frequency of interest and so on. Sensor correction was conducted on very channel using magnitudes and phased of FRF with respect to a reference microphone channel. Then with a spiral type array, measurements have been made with two point sources of same frequency in order to investigate array resolving abilities. It is observed that higher frequency source achieves better resolution than lower one does.

실내에서의 위치기반 서비스를 위한 실내 위치 인식 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 음향 신호와 TDOA 기술을 기반으로 하는 3차원 위치 인식 시스템에 있어서, 마이크 센서의 개수와 배열 위치에 따라 추정된 위치의 오차 특성이 달라지므로, 본 논문에서는 마이크 센서의 배열과 측정된 거리 차이값의 오차 크기에 따른 추정 위치의 오차를 DOP로 분석하고, 그 추정 위치 오차 패턴과 추정 위치 오차값을 고려하여 최적의 마이크 배열을 결정하는 방법에 대해서 연구하였다.

In this paper, the measurement system using the microphone array developed for analyzing cabin noise of the vehicle and its applications are discussed. The sensor is a three dimensional microphone array, the microphones and cameras are equipped on the rigid sphere. The cameras are used for acoustic visualization. As applications, the experiments in both reverberation chamber and anechoic chamber are discussed. These results show that this system is very useful to evaluate or improve the vehicle sound insulation performance.

본 논문은 지연 추정 기능을 갖는 적응 마이크로폰 어레이 알고리즘을 제안한다. Generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC)의 적응 차단 행렬이 각 센서간의 상호 시간 지연을 추정할 수 있다는 것을 보임으로써, 제안한 시스템은 적응 차단 행렬을 목적 신호의 차단 뿐 아니라 각 센서의 시간 지연 추정을 위해 사용한다. 이로 인해, 제안한 시스템은 GSC 구조만을 사용하면서. 시간 지연 추정기를 외부의 전처리기로 사용하는 기존의 시스템과 같은 성능을 얻을 수 있다. 실제 환경에서의 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 시스템의 성능이 기존의 시스템과 유사함을 확인하였다.

최근 국내에서 개발된 광섬유 격자소자(FBG: Fiber Bragg Grating)를 이용하여, 3종의 Hopper type WDM FBG Acoustic Transducer를 설계 및 제작 하였다. 제작된 3종류의 Hopper type WDM FBG Acoustic Transducer는 기존의 광섬유 센서가 지니고 있는 우수한 장점들을 지니고 있을 뿐만 아니라, sensor arm 구성이 간단하여 실용화에 큰 장점을 지니고 있다. 제작된 3종류의 Hopper type WDM FBG Acoustic Transducer 는 주파수 특성이 10 Hz~18 kHz 대역에서 음파 검출이 가능하였고, 트랜스듀서의 최적 공진 조건을 이용하여 최대 8.6 m 거리까지 신호 검출이 가능하였다. 특히, 기존의 음향 센서를 대신하여 전기적 잡음이 많고, 열악한 환경에서 저 주파수 신호 검출에 실용화를 기대할 수 있고, 센서 어레이(array)시스템 구성을 통하여 고감도 및 다중점 음파 검출 시스템으로 발전될 수 있다.

The piezoelectric bimorph film, which, as an actuator, can generate more effective displacement than the usual PVDF film, is used to control the turbulent boundary-layer flow. The change of wall pressures inside the turbulent boundary layer is observed by using the multi-channel microphone array flush-mounted on the surface when actuation at the non-dimensional frequency $f_b^+$:=0.008 and 0.028 is applied to the turbulent boundary layer. The wall pressure characteristics by the actuation to produce local displacement are more dominantly influenced by the size of the actuator module than the actuation frequency. The movement of large-scale turbulent structures to the upper layer is found to be the main mechanism of the reduction in the wall- pressure energy spectrum when the 700$700{\nu}/u_{\tau}$-long bimorph film is periodically actuated at the non- dimensional frequency $f_b^+$:=0.008 and 0.028. The biomorph actuator is triggered with the time delay for the active forcing at a single frequency when a 1/8' pressure-type, pin-holed microphone sensor detects the large-amplitude pressure event by the turbulent spot. The wall-pressure energy in the late-transitional boundary layer is partially reduced near the convection wavenumber by the open-loop control based on the large amplitude event.

A new measurement system of wall pressure fluctuations on a rotating machinery, composed of digital recording device, was developed and evaluated. The small-sized digital recording device was attached on the rotating machinery and then was detached for data reduction. In order to obtain the system transfer function of the digital recording system, a dynamic calibration was performed utilizing the signal from a 1/8 inch B&K microphone as input. The time history of the unsteady pressure was then reconstructed from the output of the sensor by using this transfer function. The reconstructed pressure signals showed good agreement with the reference signal in both temporal and spectral sense. This sensor was then used to measure the wall pressure fluctuations on a rotating blade. An array of microphones were installed on the blade in the circumferential and radial directions. Various statistical moments were obtained from the measurement data set. Comparison of these quantities with the existing studies demonstrated satisfactory agreement. These tests give credence to the relevance and reliability of this device for applications in more complicated turbulent rotating machineries.
