In this paper, we suggest criteria for objective measurement of speech quality in mobile VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services over wireless mobile internet such as mobile WiMAX networks. This is the case that voice communication service is available under other networks. When mobile VoIP service users in the mobile internet network based on packet call up PSTN and mobile network users, but there have not been relevant quality indexes and quality standards for evaluating speech quality of mobile VoIP. In addition, there are many factors influencing on the speech quality in packet network. Especially, if the degraded speech with packet loss transfers to the other network users through the handover, voice communication quality is significantly deteriorated by the transformation of speech codecs. In this paper, we eventually adopt the Gilbert-Elliot channel model to characterize packet network and assess the voice quality through the objective speech quality method of ITU-T P. 862. 1 MOS-LQO for the various call scenario from mobile VoIP service user to PSTN and mobile network users under various packet loss rates in the transmission channel environments. Our simulation results show that transformation of speech codecs results in the degraded speech quality for different transmission channel environments when mobile VoIP service users call up PSTN and mobile network users.

We have experimentally analyzed the self-radiation impedance of an ultrasonic transducer with a square radiation surface that is used as a vibrator in underwater ultrasonic detection systems. The radiation reactance and the radiation resistance were measured in the range from 1 to 3 of ka that is the product of a wave number and a length of the edge of the square vibrator. By comparing the measured results with those of theoretical calculation of the radiation impedance using a series, we confirmed the validity of the experimental method and experimentally confirmed the variation trend in the radiation impedance of the square radiation surface.

The purpose of this study is to derive the preference factors of stage acoustics for duet performers through the measurement of the stage acoustics in a concert hall and the performance evaluation on the stage. 15 pairs (total 30 players) of the performers participated in the experiment, and the preference of selected 5 locations were evaluated. As a result, the preference in the center of stage was the highest, and CS (Clarity at stage) and $ST_{Late}$ were the most significant factors for the preference.

The effects of monaural beating sound generated according to the number of tire pitch blocks to human body are measured from experiments, and the possibilities of similar positive effects of enhancing alpha waves in human brain are investigated. Due to the requirement of repeatability and measurement conditions, recorded sounds of the tire noise are used for the experiment in a quiet room and human responses are measured using HRV. Although the number of statistically meaningful results was small, it showed that positive human reactions are probably possible.

This study is to propose more reliable test method in evaluating the sound insulation performance of building element in fields. This method involves the measurements of the incident acoustic intensity and transmitted surface intensity. The incident intensity is determined from measurements of the space averaged sound pressure level in source room. The transmitted surface intensity is measured directly using one microphone and one accelerometer. The results of experiments indicate that this new method makes it possible to give more reliable data than the conventional field test method. The values of trans-mission loss measured by this new method are compared favorably with those obtained using the sound intensity method and theoretical calculation(mass law).

The maximum likelihood(ML) estimation has excellent accuracy for frequency estimation of multiple sinusoids, but the maximum likelihood function requires much loss owing to the high nonlinearity. This paper presents a simplified maximum likelihood estimation, in order to improve the nonlinearity of the maximum likelihood estimation for frequencies of sinusoids in signals. This method is applied to the frequency estimation of sinusoidal signals corrupted by white or colored measurement noise. Monte-carlo simulations are conducted for the comparison of ML method with the best MFBLP method, in terms of sampled mean, root mean square and relative bias. The power spectral density and the position of frequency in unit circle are appeared in figures.

추진기에 의한 소음은 선형 특성에 의한 반류 분포, 추진기 재질 및 유체 연동 등 다양한 주변 인자들에 의해 발생하여, 민수용 선박의 경우는 과도한 추진기 수중 방사 소음으로 해양 생태계 교란 및 선박 거주구역 내 과대 소음 형성의 주 요인이 된다. 더구나, 군사용 함정의 경우에는 추진기 유기 소음은 수중 방사소음의 형태로 전파되어 함정/무기 자체에 탑재된 음향센서의 기능을 저하시키는 영향을 줄 뿐 아니라, 원거리까지 전파되는 수중소음으로 인해 치명적인 자기 노출이 되어 적 함정에 의한 피탐 거리 증대라는 전술적 취약점을 초래하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 발표는 삼성 공동수조(SCAT)에서 이루어지는 추진기 유기 소음 측정에 대한 기술적 사항과 모형선-추진기 수조 시험을 통해 구해진 추진기 유기음향과 이론 및 경험식을 토대로 계산된 추진기 소음의 정량/정성적 비교를 통해, 추진기 설계 단계에서 소음수준 예측 도구로의 활용 가능성을 제시하였다.

In this study, the analysis technique of fracture stress using the reflection coefficient of SAW reflected from a brittle solid with surface crack has been studied. Fracture stress of brittle solid with surface crack has been obtained by the function of the critical stress intensity factor and the maximum normalized stress intensity factor of the crack in the body. And the maximum normalized stress intensity factor of a surface crack can be inferred from a measurement of reflection coefficient of SAW. In experiment, the surface cracks ranging from 0.5mm to 0.9mm in crack depth has been made at the center of each Pyrex disc, and the SAW wedge transducer has been set up for the pitch-catch mode. It has been compared the theoretical values of the fracture stress calculated from the reflection coefficient of SAW with the values of the fracture stress measured from UTM.

The anechoic chamber is essential tool to measure the various acoustic parameters with high precision. The chamber provides the climate controlled indoor environments but requires the dedicated room at a great cost in order to isolate and absorb sound field. Provided the purpose of the chamber is specific to the experiments of sound localization, the performance requirements excluding free field can be alleviated for cost effective solution. This paper designs low cost and profile anechoic chamber based on acoustic pyramids and evaluates the performance specified by the Annex of ISO 3745. Data analysis is employed to measure the free and hemi-free field performance over five straight paths for working areas and four paths for non-working areas. The identical two measurement campaigns were conducted for free and hemi-free field chamber which is easily interchangeable by simple labor in this chamber design. In the working area with conventional speaker, the results of these analyses demonstrate that lab-designed anechoic chamber is in conformance with ISO 3745 for 250 Hz - 16 kHz one-third octave band at free field chamber and for 1 kHz - 16 kHz one-third octave band at hemi-free field chamber.

An application of the cross correlation technique by adopting ultrasonic waves for water pipe flow measuring purpose is studied. It is a non-intrusive flow metering method by determining the time of the flight of the flow turbulent noise and its non-obstructing mechanism enables to reduce process energy loss due to the flowmeter obstruction. A digital signal processor for the purpose of the real time Fourier transform was employed for the fast time calculation of the flow velocity. The overall accuracy was found as about $1\%$ for flow velocities from 0.25 m/s up to 16 m/s and for the pipe inside diameters from 50mm to 248mm. The cross correlation technique can be used for the tap water utility including most common liquid flows.
