In this study, the reverberation of a bistatic sonar operated in southeastern coast in the East Sea in July 2020 was analyzed. The reverberation sensor data were collected through an LFM sound source towed by a research vessel and a horizontal line array receiver 1 km to 5 km away from it. The reverberation sensor data was analyzed by various methods including geo-plot after signal processing. Through this, it was confirmed that the angle reflected from the sound source through the scatterer to the receiver has a dominant influence on the distribution of the reverberation sound, and the probability distribution characteristics of bistatic sonar reverberation varies for each beam. In addition, parametric factors of K distribution and Rayleigh distribution were estimated from the sample through moment method estimation. Using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test at the confidence level of 0.05, the distribution probability of the data was analyzed. As a result, it could be observed that the reverberation follows a Rayleigh probability distribution, and it could be estimated that this was the effect of a low reverberation to noise ratio.

규준화 바닥충격음레벨 평가시 잔향시간은 흡음력 보정을 위해서 필수적으로 고려해야 할 사항이다. 그러나, 잔향시간의 측정 편차가 심하기 때문에 이로 인해 규준화 바닥충격음레벨이 5dB 이상씩 변동하는 경우가 생긴다. 잔향시간 측정 편차의 원인은 실의 형상에 따른 고유모드 분포로 설명할 수 있으며, 측정시 계측기에서의 원인, 특히 동특성에 따라 측정 편차가 심하다는 것을 실험을 통해 알 수 있었다. 또한, 잔향곡선은 직선적인 형태일 경우에 정확한 측정이 가능하나, 저주파수 대역에서는 잔향곡선에 요철이 많이 생기므로 측정 데이터들을 이용하여 잔향시간을 산출할 때 세심한 주의가 요구된다.

경량충격음레벨을 평가하기 위해서는 수음실의 잔향시간을 측정하여 규준화 바닥충격음레벨을 구하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 규준화 바닥충격음레벨과 표준화 바닥충격음레벨을 구할 때 고려하는 보정레벨을 중심으로 등가 흡음력을 결정하는 잔향시간과 수음실의 체적을 변수요인으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 측정된 잔향 시간은 공간에 관계없이 기준보다 2배 이상 길게 나타났고, 등가 흡음력은 기준보다 침실의 경우 1/2 정도 작지만 거실의 경우 기준과 거의 유사하게 나타나 침실의 경우 두 보정레벨이 유사하지만 거실의 경우 전자가 후자보다 낮게 보정되는 것으로 나타났다.

It is investigated that there exists the possibility of the false target signals induced by reverberation in an active sonar system due to the internal waves in shallow water. The rays down-refracted from the internal waves may generate strong bottom-reverberation signals, which can result in false target signals. Sound waves emitted from a source propagate 3-dimensionally. Therefore, the study of internal waves on the reverberation should be studied for azimuthal direction as well as 2-dimensional (r-z) plane. Internal-wave modelling was conducted, based on solitons which were predicted with the various conditions such as, the range of source-soliton, horizontal widths of soliton. Variable depth sonar (VDS) was assumed as a source, of which the depth was located in the minimum sound speed layer in a simulation environment. Finally, the simulation on the reverberation level with time was made based on ray-based reverberation model, and the results implied that several false-target signals could be displayed on the PPI(Plan Position Indicator) scope simultaneously with range from source to soliton, and the horizontal width of soliton.

잔향에 대한 인간의 주관적인 지각을 잔향기 설계에 객관적인 수치로써 반영하는 방법으로, 5 자유도 잔향 모델이 제안된 바 있다[1]. 5자유도 잔향 모델은 잔향에 대한 다섯 개의 객관적인 평가량들을 이용하여 시간에 따른 음 에너지 감쇠 곡선을 근사화한 것이다. 즉 5 자유도 잔향 모델을 이용하여 청취자가 원하는 특성을 갖는 잔향을 객관적으로 묘사할 수 있고, 이는 잔향을 합성할 때 잔향 필터의 설계 기준이 된다. 그러나 이 모델로부터 만들 수 있는 잔향 필터의 개수는 실로 무한하고, 그 중에는 인간이 듣기에 부자연스러운 합성음을 만들어 내는 경우도 있다. 즉 자연스러운 잔향을 만들기 위해서는 잔향 모델 외에도 부가적인 잔향 설계 기준이 필요하다. 시간, 주파수 영역에서 대표적인 특성을 갖는 몇 종류의 원음에 대한 청음실험을 통해, 필요한 잔향 설계 기준을 제시한다.

Background noise and room reverberation are two causes of degradation in speech in listening situations. Many algorithms developed to enhance reverberant speech. In this paper we propose a dereverberation method for enhancement of speech using modified the linear prediction(LP) residual in reverberant room condition. The proposed dereberberation method based on the fact that the signification excitation of the vocal tract system takes place at the instant of glottal closure in voiced speech. Our method used delay information form each sensor, and we need reverberant signals from 3 sensors. We obtain a new LP residual signal using modified IP residual combination which derived form weighting of the LP residual and the Hilbert transform of LP residual. The nature of the coherently added Hilbert envelop has several large amplitude spikes because of the effects of noise and reverberation. This residual of the clean speech is used to excite the time-varying all-pole filter to obtain the enhanced speech. We achieved simulation of proposed algorithm for performance analysis in reverberation environment. The proposed algorithm improves substantially the quality of reverberant speech.

In October 1997, low-frequency reverberation was measured at an experimental site off the west coast of the Jeju island using the explosive charge, Signals Underwater Sound (SUS). Received signals were separated into the noise, the reflection, and the scattering region, and then were analyzed for the spectral and statistical characteristics of each region. In the analysis of the spectrum we verified that each region had a unique frequency band and statistical characteristics as well. The results of this analysis showed that the real and imaginary portions were shown to be both normal distributions in each frequency bin. The reverberation envelope had a Rayleigh distribution and the phase had a uniform distribution.

In this paper, a normal mode reverberation model for a range-independent environment of shallow water is proposed to calculate the reverberation level in the low-frequency range. Normal mode is used to calculate the acoustic energy propagating from the source to the scattering area and from the scattering area to the receiver. Each mode is decomposed into up and down going waves to consider scattering strength at the scattering area. The scattering functional form combines Lambert's law with a Gaussian-like term near the specular direction based on Kirchhoff approximation considering bottom condition. For verification of the suggested model, the result is relatively compared to several solutions of the problem XI and XV in the Reverberation Modeling Workshop I sponsored by the US Office of Naval Research.

In this paper, the incoherent reverberation model based on coupled normal mode method is presented. In the range dependent environment, one way coupled normal mode method is used to calculate the pressure from a source to a scatterer patch and the pressure from a scatterer patch to a receiver. For the computational efficiency, the sound propagation from a source/receiver to the scatterer patch is assumed to occur only in the 2D plane where a source/receiver and scatterer patch are located. For the model verification, problems of the reverberation modeling workshop I and II sponsored by the US office of Naval Research are calculated and the results are compared with the incoherent reverberation model results based on the ray method.

본 논문에서는 최근 건축공간에 있어서 음환경에 대한 관심이 놓아지면서 학교 건축물에 있어서 강의실내의 음환경을 측정하고, 학교건축물에 대한 음환경 기준을 확립하는 데에 기초자료와 필요한 제안을 하는 것이 목적이다. 현재 음환경 기준은 단순히 소음fp밸이나 잔향 시간과 같은 단순한 물리특성만을 기준으로 하고 있다. 여기서는 강의실 내의 잔향시간, D, STI 등외 물리지표와 설문조사 등 주관적 평가를 통해 새로운 음환경 기준을 제시하려고 한다. 여기서 사용되는 물리지표로는 TSP(Time-Streched-Pulse)신호를 사용하여 잔향시간과 D(Deutlichkeit), STI(Speech Transmission index)를 산출하였다. 강의실의 화자의 위치에서 1.5m 높이에 스피커를 놓고 청취자의 위치인 여섯 점에서 무지향성 마이크로폰을 1.2m 높이에 놓고 마이크로폰으로 들어온 임펄스 응답을 측정하고, 강의실 내의 잔향시간과 D, STI를 산출하였다. 다음에 설문조사를 실시하여, 앞에서 측정한 물리지표와 설문조사를 통해 얻은 주관적 평가와의 상관관계를 파악하였다.
