본 논문은 전기적으로 음장을 가변하여 청감적 인상에 변화를 주는 실험 결과를 기술하였다. 본 실험은 마이크로폰으로 무대의 음원을 수음하고 잔향기로 옆방향 반사음과 잔향음을 각각 생성하여 스피커로 출력하였다. 실험 결과 실내의 청감적 인상이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 또 음원 수음 시 발생하는 하울링, 실내 잔향과 다른 스피커의 음색, 잔향기에서 발생하는 음색 변조 둥 기술적 문제를 해결하였다.

거리종속 해양환경에서 정상모드 모델 중 하나인 KRAKEN 과 Lambert 공식 형태의 산란 함수를 이용하여 양상태 잔향음을 모델링 하였다. 단열 (adiabatic) 정상모드 모델을 이용하여 거리종속 환경에서의 송신기와 산란체, 산란체와 수신기 사이의 음장을 계산하며 각 산란체에서의 산란 강도는 각 모드별 파수에 의한 입사각 및 산란각을 이용, 모드 조합에 의해 계산하였다. 또한 광대역 모델링을 이용하여 시간 영역에서의 잔향음 신호를 계산하였다.

수중 폭발성 음원(SUS)을 이용한 천해 저주파 잔향음 실험을 97년 제주 해역에서 실시하였다 측정된 신호를 고유음선 정보를 이용하여 시간영역에서 잡음, 반사, 산란 영역으로 구분하고 각 영역에 대해서 주파수별 스펙트럼 분석을 실시하였으며 각 영역이 갖는 확률적 특성을 분석하였다. 실험해역은 안정된 해저 형태를 갖는 천해였으므로 산란 신호는 일정한 크기를 갖고 지속적으로 수신되었다. 스펙트럼 분석 결과, 시간에 따른 안정성을 갖는 주파수 대역을 확인할 수 있었으며 구분된 영역별 위상은 반사영역과 산란영역의 위상 특성을 잘 반영하고 있었다. 구분된 각 영역에 대해 1/3 옥타브 벤드로 필터링 하여 확률 특성을 분석한 결과 주파수영역의 실수부와 허수부는 각각 정규 분포를 보였으며 그것의 진폭(envelope)은 레일리 분포를 나타냈다. 또한 산란신호의 위상은 저주파 대역에서 유니폼 분포 특성을 나타내어 잔향음의 기본적인 확률 특성을 잘 반영하고 있었다.

Recently, a 5-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) reverberation model was proposed as a method of representing subjective perception of reverberation as objective measures[1]. This model approximates sound energy decay curve by five objective measures, widely used in which have been concert hall acoustics. However, it is note worthy that there can be infinite number of impulse responses which correspond to a selected 5-DOF reverberation model. There may exist some filters making very unnatural and unrealistic sound. In this paper, the limitation of the 5-DOF reverberation model when it is used as a filter design criteria is investigated. When a 5-DOF reverberation model is given, additional constraints to get natural reverberation are suggested. This is based on the listening tests for several quite different source sounds.

Bubbles generated by various causes in the ocean are known to persist for long periods of time. Although the volume occupied by bubbles in the ocean is small, the presence of bubbles in ocean due to resonance and attenuation greatly affects the acoustic properties. Accordingly, bistatic reverberation experiment was performed in the ocean where artificial bubbles exist. A number of transducers and receivers were installed on 6 buoys arranged in a hexagonal shape, and blowing agents were dropped in the center of the buoy to generate bubbles. For reverberation modeling that reflects acoustic characteristics changed by bubbles, the spatial distribution of bubbles was estimated using video data and received signals. A measurement-based bubble spectral shape was used, and it was assumed that the bubble density within the spatial distribution of the estimated bubble was the same. As a result, it was confirmed that the bubble reverberation was simulated in a time similar to the measured data regardless of the bubble density, and the bubble reverberation level similar to the measured data was simulated at a void fraction of about 10^-7 ~ 10^-6.8.

음장 재생기는 인공잔향기의 일부로 알려져 있었으나 실제로는 다른 접근 방법이 필요하다. 인공잔향기의 용도가 대체로 무향에 가까운 음원에 인공잔향을 가해주는 것이라면, 음장 재생기는 청취자에게 넓은 공간감을 위해 이미 잔향이 가해진 음원에 초기반사음만을 가해주기 때문이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 음장재생기는 모사하고자 하는 공간의 충격응답에서 직접음 대비 반사음의 세기를 조절하여 sound coloration을 줄이고, 초기반사음의 패닝을 이용하여 넓은 공간감을 효과적으로 재생한다. 또한 본 음장재생기는 ITDG, LEF, Stage width, Room size, Liveness 등의 객관적 인자들을 조정할 수 있기 때문에 원하는 공간의 모사뿐 아니라 가상공간의 크기와 느낌을 변화시킬 수 있다.

Speech may not be clearly understandable in the room that is highly reverberant, due to the loss of consonants intelligibility. Therefore, it is very important to obtain a high sound pressure level of direct sound in reverberant room. A properly designed sound reinforcement system can not provide the good speech intelligibility without the absorption treatments of walls. With using the highly directional speaker, we can transmit the sound energy into only the areas where people are sitting. This can be help to improve the speech intelligibility. In this paper, even in reverberant rooms, it will be shown that the good speech intelligibility can be obtained by only the directivity control of speaker without the room treatment. Also, it would be more improved by the properly room tuning using an equalizer.

In this paper, a target detection method based on beamspace-domain multichannel nonnegative matrix factorization is studied when an echo of continuous-wave ping is received from a low-Doppler target in reverberant environment. If the receiver of the continuous-wave active sonar moves, the frequency range of the reverberation is broadened due to the Doppler effect, so the low-Doppler target echo is interfered by the reverberation in this case. The developed algorithm analyzes the multichannel spectrogram of the received signal into frequency bases, time bases, and beamformer gains using the beamspace-domain multichannel nonnnegative matrix factorization, then the algorithm estimates the frequency, time, and bearing of target echo by choosing a proper basis. To analyze the performance of the developed algorithm, simulations were performed in various signal-to-reverberation conditions. The results show that the proposed algorithm can estimate the frequency, time, and bearing, but the performance was degraded in the low signal-to-reverberation condition. It is expected that modifying the selection algorithm of the target echo basis can enhance the performance according to the simulation results.

In this paper, we proposes an idea for improved sound characteristic which decreasing a problem in previous reverberation algorism structure. To later reflection sound, proposed new reverberation structure, using a lopped and nested all-pass delay line, and it is designed to improve an natural concert hall sound. In addition, In order to have best imaginary sound effect, we extracted the factors by controlling each delay line's delay time, and we realized a proposed new algorithm by using general-purpose DSP. Through several experimental cases, we observed better effect on improvement of linear flatten and reverberation density and decreasing about colorlessness and non-linear sound at previous proposed model about impulse input.

The proposed algorithm deals with a detection problem of target echo for narrow-band continuous-wave active sonar in the underwater environment in this paper. In the active sonar systems, ping signal emitted for target detection produces a signal that consists of multiple reflections by many scatterers around, which is called reverberation. The proposed algorithm aims to detect the low-Doppler target echo in the reverberant environment. The proposed algorithm estimates the bearing, frequency, and temporal bases based on beamspace-domain multichannel nonnegative matrix factorization. In particular, the bases are divided into two basis groups - the reverberation group and the echo group, then the basis groups are estimated independently. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, a simulation with synthesized reverberation was performed. The results show that the proposed algorithm has enhanced performance than the conventional algorithms.
