Time-domain sweeplets for acoustic measurements

摘要

This paper proposes new types of time-domain generated sine sweeps for impulse response measurements. A general time-domain analytical formulation method, combined with numeric phase alignment and frequency-domain inverse filtering is presented. It is applied to derive three new families of controllable spectrum sine sweeps called sweeplets, capable of matching 1// background noises, producing finite band defocusing and single frequency focusing shapes. Mathematical properties concentrating on practical control of the signal shapes are examined. Effects of various perturbations, such as stationary and transient background noise, harmonic distortion and finite length are presented. Applicability of the proposed method is experimentally verified by a room acoustic measurement example.
