Approximation Model for Radiation Impedance of a Square Piston Source on an Infinite Planar Baffle

摘要

Approximation models based on a finite sum of Bessel functions of the first kind and a pair of simple rational transfer functions are proposed for radiation resistance and reactance of a square piston source mounted on an infinite planar baffle. Model accuracy is better than 1.6% for reactance and 0.5% for resistance within a very wide range of dimensionless frequency k√S (0.1-100). The very low and high frequency behaviors of radiation impedance are incorporated into the models' closed-form expressions so that the approximation error outside the specified frequency range tends to zero.
