정보 통신 기술의 발달이 인간 생활에 많은 편리함을 가져다 주었지만 개인의 정보 유출이나 소음 공해 등의 여러 가지 문제점도 야기 시켰다. 특히 휴대 전화 통화시 사용자의 개인적인 정보들이 공공 장소에서 그대로 노출이 되고, 또 그러한 통화로 인해서 타인에게 소음 피해를 주기도 한다. 이러한 병폐를 막기 위해서 휴대 전화 사용자는 최대한 작은 소리로 통화를 하되, 상대방에게 의도하고자 하는 바를 확실히 전달하여야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 휴대 전화에 근접 통화가 가능해야 하며, 일정한 방향의 방향성을 가져서 주위의 잡음에 대해 독립적으로 작동하도록 해야한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기능을 향상시키기 위하여 음향학적 이론을 바탕으로 휴대전화에 사용되어지는 마이크로폰을 새로 설계, 제작하고 그 성능을 시험하였다. 아주 작은 소리로 근접 통화를 할 때 발생하는 팝핑(popping) 현상이 최소한이 되도록 미세관 배열을 적용하였으며, 외부 소음 영향을 줄이기 위하여 방향성을 증폭시키고자 음원의 위치에 초점을 맞추는 기술을 적용하였다. 방향성 증폭은 4개의 마이크로폰 사용과 근거리 음원의 방향성 증가를 위한 신호 처리기술을 적용하였다. 이 기술의 적용 효과를 실험을 통하여 검증할 수 있었다.

In the case of aeroacoustic test in windtunnel, measurement accuracy is reduced by not only Doppler effects but also by the microphone self noise due to airflow and high turbulence in the wall boundary layer. Microphone array measurements can be easily utilized for the solutions of these problems. In this paper, geometrical optics approach and diagonal term elimination of cross spectral matrix was introduced to the de-dopplerization and self noise reduction methods for the microphone array measurement. For the validation, beamforming tests for sinusoidal point source were performed in the closed type test section of windtunnel, and their performances of beam width and sidelobe rejection were significantly improved.

This paper describes the implementation of a robust speaker position location system using the voice signal received by microphone array. To be robust to the reverberation which is the major factor of the performance degradation, low-frequency phase restoration algorithm which eliminates the influence of reverberations using the low-frequency information of the CPSP function is proposed. The implemented real-time system consists of a general purpose DSP (TMS320C31 of Texas instruments), analog part which contains amplifiers and filters, and digital part which is composed of the external memory and 12-bit A/D converter. In the real conference room environment, the implemented system that was constructed by the proposed algorithms showed better performance than the conventional system. The error of the TDOA estimation reduced more than 15 samples.

This paper describes the analysis of vibration characteristics through the human body as the research for voice therapy and diagnosis. The oscillation signal is not external forces but the self-voice to be pronounced the vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'). The experiment system consists of microphones, accelerometers and amplifiers. The input data are stored by the computer. At the same time, the voice is stored by the microphone and the vibration signal of the human body is stored by accelerometer. The 63 points are appointed in head, neck, trunk of human body. The positions and number of times are changeable by the purpose. The analysis parameters are amplitude, phase, fundamental. frequency, formant and the correlation of vibration signal and voice is measured by coherence function. The results show that the vibration signals have characteristic vibration in the positions of human body.

풍력터빈 블레이드에서 발생하는 공력소음원의 위치 특성을 파악하기 위해 마이크로폰 어레이를 사용하여 소음원 풍동시험을 수행하였다. 풍동시험은 KARI 중형 아음속풍동에서 수행되었으며, 소음원의 위치파악을 위해 시간영역 회전체 빔포밍기법을 사용하였다. 기존 시간영역 회전체 빔포밍 기법의 경우 시험데이터 해석에 많은 시간이 소요되나, 본 논문에서는 원통형 좌표계에서 회전각 격자간격과 해석기간 간격 사이의 상관조건을 도입하여 데이터 해석시간을 기존 방법 대비 1/5로 단축하였다. 시험결과 나타난 주파수에 따른 블레이드 공력소음원의 위치 특성은 2kHz 이하 대역에서는 블레이드 반경 80% 부근에 주소음원이 위치하며, 4kHz 이상 대역에서는 블레이드 끝단 부근에 주 소음원이 위치하고 있다.

Cavities behind concrete walls can adversely affect the stability of structures. Thus study aims to detect cavities behind concrete structures using a microphone in a laboratory model test. A small-scale concrete wall is constructed in a chamber, which is composed of a reinforced concrete plate and dry soil. A plastic bowl is then placed between the plate and soil to simulate a cavity behind the concrete structure. Leaky surface acoustic waves are generated by impacting the concrete plate using a hammer and are measured using a microphone. The measured signals are analyzed using natural frequencies, and cavity-free sections are evaluated. The test results show that the first natural frequency decreases at the cavity section due to the flexural vibration behavior of the plate. In addition, the amplitude corresponding to the first natural frequency decreases as the measurement location becomes farther from the cavity center and significantly decreases at the measurement locations near the rebars. This study demonstrates that a microphone may be useful to detect cavities behind concrete walls.

The paper demonstrates how to deal with the Near-field Acoustic Holography method (NAH) for reducing noise source which is generated in air-conditioning compressor. Sound radiation was measured for both normal compressor and fault compressor. The acoustic noise holograms are predicted by measuring at discrete multiple points around the two compressors and are thereafter reconstructed on the surface of the compressors. 1344 measuring points are used by two microphones in which one is scanning microphone and the other is reference microphone. NAH is a good tool for the visualization of Sound so we can show the source of sound graphically. In this paper, the NAH method found the exact noise source position on the surface of the compressor and the noise-related sub part in the compressor. We found the NAH and is very useful as a noise reduction tool for home-appliance device.

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.

Recently, as an alternative to replace face-to-face meetings, video conferencing systems between remote locations has increased. However, video conferencing systems have limitations in terms of mismatch of the eyes of remote users. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a technology that can increase the level of immersion in video conferences by matching the gaze information of participants between different remote locations. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to realize video conferencing with the same gaze by estimating the speaker's location based on a multi-microphone. Using our method, it can be applied to various fields such as robot interaction and virtual human interface as well as video conferencing between remote locations.
