Phase Analysis of Sound Fields: A System-Theoretical Approach
About this ebook
This book presents experimental data and numerical examples based on the mathematical formulations. It shows the mathematical formulations of acoustics and communication systems for engineers and physicists to get familiar with the basics of science.
Chapters 1–5 provide the theoretical basis on the system theoretic approach to sound fields where Chapters 1 and 2 are introductions to discrete acoustic systems, Chapters 3–5 summarize wave equations, geometrical and random theories of room acoustics, and Chapters 6–10 develop details of transfer functions in sound.
About the author
Mikio Tohyama holds a Doctorate of Engineering from Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan. For the next 18 years beginning in 1975, Dr. Tohyama was involved in research projects in acoustics and signal processing at the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) Research Laboratories. He was a professor at Kogakuin University (1993-2003) and Waseda University (2003-2012) in sound and perception. Since 2012 he has operated his research consulting firm, Wave Science Study (WSS). His present interest is signatures in spatial sound and perception in the wavenumber space. Dr. Tohyama enjoys playing the piano every day.
