This paper proposes robust source localization methods for estimating the azimuth angle, elevation angle, velocity, and range using a low-complexity planar antenna array in impulsive non-Gaussian noise environments. The proposed robust source localization methods for wireless communication applications are based on nonlinear M-estimation provided from Huber and Hampel. Simulation results show the robustness performance of the proposed robust methods in impulsive non-Gaussian noise.

In many practical applications of the centrifugal fan, the impeller-diffuser interaction noise is considered as a main source of fan noise. The housing for an electric motor is also expected to play an important role on noise propagation because of its complicated configuration. This study investigates the impeller-diffuser interaction noise and its sources by computing three-dimensional, incompressible flow field of the centrifugal fan in motor housing. The effect of motor case on fan noise characteristic is then investigated using the Brinkman penalization method, while the noise source associated with impeller-diffuser interaction is mathematically modeled. It is found that the present methodology combined with mathematical description of noise source provides a fairly good agreement with the experimental results, indicating that the motor housing has significant effect on noise characteristics. Finally, aeroacoustic noise prediction for various impeller-diffuser blade count ratios is conducted for noise reduction.

In this study, we investigates active control technology to reduce the noise transmitted to the outside through the opening of enclosures. A numerical model based on acoustic boundary element method is first established. Using the numerical model, the acoustic transfer functions of the field points over the opening to the primary source at arbitrary locations are estimated. The feedforward control to minimize the acoustic power through the opening is then numerically implemented. The controller generates the secondary source to destructively interfere the noise transmission through the opening. Finally, a parametric study is conducted to evaluate the effects of the location and the number of the microphones on the control performance. Furthermore, the effects of the location of the secondary source on the performance of active noise control are investigated. It is followed that the control system implemented in this study leads to a significant reduction of about 35dB in sound power through the open using only on secondary source located at the optimized position.

This paper presents practical work on the reduction of gear whine noise. In order to identify the source of the gear whine noise, transfer paths are searched and analyzed by operational deflection shape analysis and experimental modal analysis. It was found that gear whine noise has an air-borne noise path instead of structure-borne noise path. The main sources of air-borne noise were the two global modes caused by the resonance of an axle system. These modes created a vibro-acoustic noise problem. Vibro-acoustic noise can be reduced by controlling the vibration of the noise source. The vibration of noise source is controlled by the modification of structure to avoid the resonance or to reduce the excitation force. In the study, the excitation force of the axle system is attenuated by changing the tooth profile of the hypoid gear. The modification of the tooth profile yields a reduction of transmission error, which is correlated to the gear whine noise. Finally, whine noise is reduced by 10 dBA.

The noise of a refrigerator is consisted of the various flow noises of a refrigerator fan, a compressor and a condenser fan. The demands of high flow rate, compact space and low noise are to be accommodated, especially, in the case of a premium refrigerator. In this study, flow field, noise sources and flow noise are analyzed numerically and compared to the measured data. The flow field is calculated with 3-dimensional CFD solver - SC/Tetra, and the noise source and aeroacoustic noise is analyzed with FlowNoise S/W. Low noise axial fan can be developed by controlling the dominant noise source area.

A noise measurement method of the multi-sound sources in a reverberation field with wave-guide is developed by experimental method. In the reverberation field, it is very hard to measure sound level or noise spectra of a certain sound source, when many sound sources generate noise simultaneously with a small space between them. Flexible wave-guide(tube) was used to measure noise level in a reverberation field. One end of the tube is attached to a sound source and the other end is closed with an anechoic terminal. Detailed method of the measurement and the source of error was considered as well.

최근 환경 소음이 사회적인 문제로 대두되고 있는 가운데, 생활수준의 향상으로 저소음화에 대한 요구가 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 이와 같이 소음에 관한 일반인들의 관심이 높아지면서 생환주변에서 주요 소음원으로 지적되고 있는 회전기계, 특히 가전제품을 비롯한 유동관련 기계류의 소음을 낮추기 위한 노력이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 소평팬에 대한 연구에서는 음압 및 음향인텐시티를 이용하여 소음원을 해석하였다. 이때, 광센서를 이용한 축류형 팬의 동기화가 수행되어졌고, 팬 형상에서 정확한 소음원의 위치를 규명하기 위한 기록시간의 결정이 제안되어졌다. 소음 발생하는 위치를 규명하였고, 지향성 연구를 통하여 축류형 팬의 방사형태를 결정하였으며, 음의 흐름도를 가시화 하였다.

A method is suggested for the noise source identification using the sound intensity method. The suggested method does not need to install the grid using wire or thread during the sound intensity measurement for the noise source identification. It utilizes a camera to show the grid on the screen not installing the real grid for the sound intensity method.

The cultural noise sources in magnetotellurics were localized using the source localization method. Conventional beamforming techniques are not applicable for electromagnetic source localization. In this study, the matched field processing and genetic algorithm are used to localize an electromagnetic source and estimate the polarization direction. The source localization using MT field data shows the characteristics of estimated source distribution related to the strength of cultural noise.

Sound intensity method is well known as a visualization technique of sound field or sound propagation in noise control. Sound intensity or energy flux is a vector quantity which describes the amount and the direction of net flow of acoustic energy at a given position. Especially two dimensional sound intensity method is very useful in evaluating periodic characteristics and acoustic propagation mode of noise source. In this paper, we have studied the noise source Identification, acoustic sound field analysis, and characteristics of noise source of rotary compressor and scroll compressor for air conditioner using complex sound intensity method. Also we proposed a now method of time domain analysis which is used in evaluating of position of noise source in rotary and scroll compressor in this paper This paper presents the advantage, simplicity and economical efficiency of this method by analysing the characteristics of noise source with two dimensional complex sound intensity simultaneously.
