The Single-Pulse Method for Measuring the Transmission Characteristics of Acoustic Systems

A method to measure the transmission characteristics of acoustic systems with the help of a single pulse is developed.

Through Fourier analysis of both the input and output pulses to the system, its transmission characteristics are determined in amplitude as well as in phase.

The method is applied to measure the end correction of open pipes, the conductivity of a side-hole in a pipe, and the transmission loss of partitions.
