본 논문은 전자파 장해 및 복사내성 측정의 대용 시험시설로 활용될 수 있는 전자파 잔향실의 전자기장 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 전자파 잔향실 내부 균일성을 확보하기 위하여, 음향효과의 극대화를 위해 인간의 가청 주파수대인 16-20,000Hz 범위, 음속(340 m/sec)에 적용하여 활용되고 있는 Shroeder Quadratic Residue Diffuser를 무선 주파수 대역 30 KHz -3 THz인 범위로 확장, 3가지 형태의 Diffuser를 설계하여 잔향실 내부에 적용하였다. FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) 수치해석 방식을 이용하여 잔향실 내부의 필드 특성을 조사한 결과 Diffuser를 부착한 3 가지 형태 모두 치대 tolerance $\pm$3dB 이내의 필드 균일도를 나타내었으며, Type 3, 대칭형 구조의 Diffuser 형태가 효율이 가장 우수하다는 결과를 나타내었다.

파라메트릭 라우드스피커(parametric loudspeaker)는 초음파의 지향성 발생 특성과 발생된 초음파의 비선형 전파 현상을 이용하여 간접적으로 가청음을 발생시키는 기술을 이용한다. 이를 이용하면 소리를 직진 형태로 전파 시킬 수 있기 때문에 원하는 영역에만 음향 신호를 전달할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 파라메트릭 라우드스피커의 연구 진행 상황을 간략히 살펴보고, 현재 이 분야에서 가장 실용적인 초음파 발생기 방식으로 알려진 압전 필름형 초음파 발생기의 디자인 기술과 이를 적용한 파라메트릭 라우드스피커에 관하여 논한다. 그리고 이러한 스피커 시스템이 실용화되기 위해 해결해야 하는 문제점을 살펴본다.

입체음향 생성을 위한 기존의 방법은 크게 바이노럴 녹음기법과 머리전달함수(HRTF)를 이용한 바이노럴 합성 기법으로 나눌 수 있다. 기존 2채널 더미헤드를 이용한 바이노럴 녹음기법과 바이노럴 합성기법은 표준 더미헤드를 사용함으로써 청취자 머리와의 오차로 정면 음상 정위의 어려움, "Front-back confusion", 이동 음 음상 정위 어려움 등의 문제로 실제 녹음 현장에서는 거의 사용되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 3채널 더미헤드 기법은 이러한 문제점을 극복할 수 있고, 특히, HRTF 합성 시 기존의 HRTF의 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 HRTF를 구축할 수 있다. 따라서 바이노럴 합성 기법이 필요한 오락, 시뮬레이터, 음장 가청화 기술(Auralization) 프로그램 등 다양한 분야에서의 적용이 가능하다.

In this paper, wireless communication from a smart phone to a hearing aid using audible frequency band sound was considered. 1kHz single channel carrier frequency was applied for amplitude shift keying (ASK) binary data modulation, and the result of the transmission and reception was tested. The overall system process was precisely explained and experimentally evaluated. The result will be applied for realizing a digital hearing aid with remote control feature by a smart phone.

In this paper, We examined auditory threshold and critical ratio of amberjack seriola dumerili, in the Jeju Island coastal waters, to find out hearing ability of the fish. The auditory threshold level, critical ratio and hearing index of amberjack were determinded by conditioning method using a sound coupled with electric shock in the condition of ambient noise or white noise in an experimental water tank. The audio-signals of pure tone and electric shock were from 80 HZ to 800 Hz and DC 7 V, respectively. Values for the critical ratios were calculated in terms of the masked thresholds using the noise projected to stable spectrum levels at all measurement frequencies of background noise. Masking noises were in the spectrum level range of 65 dB∼75 dB $(re 1{\mu}Pa\sqrt{Hz})$. The auditory thresholds of amberjack within the test the frequencies were most sensitive at 300HZ as 94.5 dB. The critical ratios of fishes ranged from 36.4 to 52.8 dB. The noise spectrum level that started masking was about 58∼72 dB within frequencies.

In this paper, intrusion detection technique based on the sound field variation of audio frequency in the security space is proposed. The sound field formed by sound source can be detected with the microphone when the obstacle or intruder is positioned. The sound field variation due to the intruder is based on the interference of audio wave. With the help of numerical simulation of sound field formations, the increase or decrease of sound pressure level is analyzed not only the obstacle, but also the intruder. Even the microphone is positioned behind the source, sound pressure level can be increase or decrease due to the interference. Frequency response test is performed with Gaussian white noise signal to get the whole frequency response from 0 to half of sampling frequency. There are three security cases. Case 1 is the situation of empty space with and without intruder, case 2 is the situation of blocking obstacle with and without intruder, and case 3 is the situation of side blocking obstacle with and without intruder. At each case, the frequency response is obtained first at the security space without intruder, and second with intruder. From the experiment, intruder size of $50cm{\times}50cm$ can be successfully detected with the proposed technique. Moreover, the case 2 or case 3 bring about bigger sound field variation. It means that the proposed technique have the potential of more credible security sensing in real situation.

Acoustic Quanta, which British Physicist Dennis Gabor created, is the theoretical background for granular synthesis and has influenced many computer music artists and sound designers. Acoustic Quanta is a very short sound burst, lasting only 1 to 100 ms. Granular synthesis is a sound synthesis technique which slices original sound into sound grains and re-combines them into a new acoustic event. Concept of sound grain is borrowed from the acoustic quanta. Granular Synthesis can make very unique sound, so that it can be useful in many ways, especially in sound design. This paper presents concept of acoustic quanta and granular synthesis. It then discusses making a synthesizer as an implementation of synchronous granular synthesis and its applications on sound design. As a result, the duration of acoustic quanta should range between 0.239 and 33.367 ms, in consideration of audible frequencies, which is different from the original concept of the acoustic quanta.

An experiment was carried out to obtain the fundamental data on the auditory thresholds of fishes for catching method using audible frequency sound, the auditory thresholds of dusky spinefoot Siganus fuscescens(Houttuyn) were measured in the presence of masking noise in the spectrum level range of 74 - 83dB re $1{\mu}Pa/{\sqrt{Hz}}$ by heartbeat conditioning technique using pure tones coupled with a delayed electric shock. The auditory critical ratios were about 23 - 34dB at measurement frequency range. The ratio increased almost linearly with increasing frequency from 200 to 500Hz. The noise spectrum level at the start of masking was about 61 - 73dB within the measurement frequency range. This suggests that hearing of dusky spinefoot is masked in the natural environment with the noise spectrum level above 70dB. The sound pressure level of which the signal sound of 100Hz is recognized by dusky spinefoot under the white noise of 70dB is above 98dB and the critical ratio of them is above 23dB.

In case of the working machine that using in the loud-noisy workplace, as it generates the loud-noise, it is influencing a physical, mental bad effect to those workers. Accordingly, though the noise countermeasure for the loud-noisy workplace is acutely requiring, until now, those methods that wearing the soundproof-protection tool, or restriction the working hours, and minimize the noise exposure volume, were mainly used. However, such noise countermeasures occur many problem points. On such point of view, using the acoustic simulation technique, let the workers to choose the workplace where suffering many damages due to the noise of working machine, and after grasp the physical property of working machine and indoor acoustic characteristic, this Study has attempted to grasp the reduction degree of noise level at before-improvement?after-improvement, through the sound-absorption measure. Passing through such preceding step, using auralizational technique based on the noise of working machine of before-improvement after-improvement, and by conduct psycho-acoustics evaluation, this study intended to investigate the change degree of subject reaction. As the result of evaluation, it is considering that the noise-reduction countermeasure method for the loud-noisy workplace could be much effective, through the sound-absorption measure.

Recently, in accordance with increase of the desire for Sports for All(Life Sports), the swimming pools in many areas are under construction. However, since they used many of the reflexible finish-materials on account of the characteristics of hydrophilic space, most of the Indoor Swimming Pools are generating the excessive reverberation. Such reverberation is bringing about the problem that obstructs the oral communication between the coach and the player, and the Clearness of Sound, besides the sport activity. On this viewpoint, on the object of the actually built indoor swimming pool, after the conduct of an optimized acoustics design by the remodeling through a computer simulation, and by carrying out the Psycho-Acoustics Experiment utilizing of Auralization Technique which is able to experience Virtual Sound Field at the stage of designing, then this thesis has attempted to appraise on the acoustic condition after the completion of construction. It is considered that such result of the study could be utilized as the useful data that enables to improve the curtailment effect of construction cost as well as the acoustic capability, by means of the presupposition control on the acoustic problem from the stage of design, for the occasion when the similar indoor swimming pool is planning to build, henceforth.
