This paper investigates the effects of diffuser on the acoustical parameters in music hall with consideration of the result of scattering coefficient measurement. A scale model hall of 600 seats with orchestra shell was used for experiments. The materials of 1:50 scale model was chosen through absorption coefficient measurement based on ISO 354. The model was matched to the computer simulation model in terms of reverberation time. In order to evaluate the effect of diffuser location, the measurements were accomplished with and without diffusers according to 7 configurations by diffuser-installed region; sidewall, balcony front, ceiling and so on. The following acoustical parameters were extracted from each measurement case; Reverberation time (RT), Early decay time (EDT), Clarity (C80), Center time (Ts), Sound strength (G) and Temporal diffusion (TD) from the auto-correlation function (ACF) of impulse responses. As a result, the absorption power and diffusion power were increased with number of diffusers. Accordingly RT, EDT and G were decreased by diffuser and the redirection of reflections was occurred briskly. Averaged TD was 6.05 to 6.30 by measurement cases. RT was found to be the most related factor to diffusion power (R = 0.94). The correlation between TD and EDT was high (R = 0.73). In addition, the effects of diffuser-installed location were discussed in terms of acoustical parameter variation.

다목적 공간 및 공연장은 공연 또는 강연을 위한 공간뿐만 아니라 상점, 식당 및 체육 공간 등 다양한 용도의 공간이 인접되고 있다. 다양한 공간이 인접할 경우 기존의 다목적 공연장에서는 발생하지 않았던 다양한 소음 진동 문제들이 발생한다. 본 연구는 강연 및 공연을 위한 다목적 공간 상부에 식당 및 체육 시설로 활용되는 공간이 배치되어 바닥충격음 문제가 발생할 가능성이 있었다. 바닥충격음의 강당으로의 전달을 차단하기 위하여 기본 구조체에 대한 바닥충격음 차단성능을 측정하여 적절한 저감 대책을 수립하였다. 저감대책으로는 상층부 철골 슬래브와 강당의 철골 구조의 구조적 분리, 유연한 마감재 적용, 슬래브로의 충격진동 차단을 위한 제진재 적용, 이중천장 구조 및 천장내부 흡음구조 형성 등의 종합적인 대책을 수립하였다. 이를 통해 경량충격음 및 중량충격음을 효율적으로 차단하였다. 또한 강당 공간은 강연 및 집회의 공간으로 활용될 수 있도록 하기 위하여 적절한 잔향시간 및 음성 명료도 확보가 필요하다. 플러터 에코, 과도한 잔향시간, 음의 사각지대 등을 최소화하기 위하여 측벽 형태 개선, 천장 반사판 형태를 개선하였다. 또한 측벽에서 진동 등의 영향으로 발생되는 떨림현상을 억제하기 위하여 측벽 내부를 흡음재로 충전하는 등의 대책을 수립하여 적용하였다.

As the popularity of the smartphone becomes increase, indoor smartphone positioning technology has been actively studied. The acoustic signal generated from the smartphone is received from the several microphones at the relative positioning system, and the trigger signal is proposed to mitigate the multipath effect and the effect is verified. But for the simple trigger method, there would be error occurred according to the variation of the distance or surrounding noise. In this paper, in order to resolve the problems, the dynamic trigger threshold technology is proposed and its effect is verified by the experiment.

There have been always some difficulties in target setting and conditioning of acoustic performances or the Korean traditional music hall due mainly to the lack of the information on the sound radiation characteristics of Korean musical sources. As the 2nd experiment succeeding the previous study[1], the radiation characteristics of eight typical Korean traditional musical sources were investigated if precision. The selected musical sources were Geomungo, Haegeum (string), Piri, Taepyeongso (woodwind), Buk, Kwaengguari, Jing (drum), and male Pansori Chang (vocal Performance). The results show that the directivity pattern of each instrument is different and has their own directivity characteristics. Measured directional and spectral characteristics of traditional Korean music sources were implemented into the computation of architectural acoustic measures. Significant differences in the acoustic measures at receiver positions were observed between the results in using the omni-directional source and the directional one. In order to investigate the acoustical characteristics of the instruments depending on the spatial variation four different shapes of halls were introduced including rectangular, fan. horse-shoe and geometrical shapes. Room acoustical parameters such as RT, SPL, C80, LF, STI were calculated at each type or hall. As the results, It was found that the rectangular hall has the most high clarity. lateral energy and STI values among low shapes of halls. It is thought that the suggested source data and design method can be used as a basic reference in the future acoustic design of performance halls for the Korean traditional music.

This paper describes three methods for the estimation of the impulse reponse in an indoor acoustic transfer system which rather has long reverberation time by the cross spectrum. The first method, which is the conventional one, will use the white noise as the source signal. Therefore, the very long time window data and numerous number of DFT are necessary for this estimation. The second method has been disigned in order to shorten the length of time window of the first method by using a burst of noise as the source signal. The third method which will be suggested in this paper uses too types of definite signal with short duration time of the source signal. According to the view point of computation capacity, and estimation accuracy of the impulse response, the compared experimental results show that the third method will be better than the others.

A study on the indoor positioning system has been active recently, and TDOA technique using acoustic signal has been used generally. The drawback of the TDOA is very weak against signal distortion due to multipath effect. Especially to estimate the smartphone position, the sound distortion is very severe, and the generated radio signal jitter when using WLAN or Bluetooth as a time reference signal makes the receiver difficult to estimate the position. In this paper, acoustic trigger signal for the receiver preparing the positioning signal reception is proposed, and the mitigation of the multipath effect is shown.

The speech transmission quality in telephone is quantified in terms of loudness rating, but this method has been validated only for the handset telephony. The transmission quality of loudspeaking telephony in any room must be evaluated not only with speech transmission but also with background noise, echo and reverberation since the effect of room acoustics is much stroger for loudspeaking telephoy. Therefore, it requires a better approach to specify the quality of loudspeaking telephony. By calcuating the speech transmission index (STI), a physical method for measuring the quality of speech transmission was proposed by Steeneken. In this paper, the application of a STI method for estimating articulation of loudspeaking telephony was discussed. And the STI measurement system with high speed calculation was also three rooms, having different reverberation times. The result show that the STI decreases as the reverberation time of rooms increases. It suggests that speech transmission index method can be useful evaluating articulation of a loudspeaking telephony including the sound field characteristics.
