Supportless unidirectional acoustic sources

The results of studying the physical characteristics of unidirectional acoustic sources used in active sound control systems are presented. A discrete unidirectional source in the form of two phased monopoles and a planar array of such unidirectional sources are considered. One-dimensional boundary-value problems with two (the two-point problem) and three (the three-point problem) controlled parallel planar boundaries between homogeneous media with arbitrary impedances are studied. The boundaries (two or three) are subjected to the action of external forces. The case of the zero sum of external forces applied to the controlled boundaries corresponds to a supportless unidirectional source. It is shown that a unidirectional source can be created within the two-point boundary-value problem, whereas a supportless unidirectional source can be created within the three-point problem. Such parameters as transparency, small size, absence of support, and broad frequency band can be achieved for a unidirectional source in the form of two piezoelectric layers with the same impedance and velocity of sound as those of the surrounding medium.     

Bound on Noise of Coherent Source for Secure Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution

Coherent source of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV QKD) system may become noisy in practical applications. The security of CV-QKD scheme with the noisy coherent source is investigated under realistic conditions of quantum channel and detector. In particular, two models are proposed to characterize the noisy coherent source through introducing a party (Fred) who induces the noise with an optical amplifier. When supposing the party Fred is untrusted, two lower security bounds to the noise of the coherent source are derived for reverse reconciliation and realistic homodyne and heterodyne detections. While supposing Fred is a neutral party, we derive two tight security bounds without knowing Fred’s exact state for ideal detections. Moreover, the simulation results show that the security of the reverse reconciliation CV-QKD protocols is very sensitive to the noise of coherent source for both the homodyne and heterodyne detections.

水下宽带源方位估计的克拉美-罗界研究

推导了水下宽带源方位估计的克拉美-罗界(CRB)解析式。它揭示了宽带CRB的特点和影响方位估计性能的因素:(1)单源的宽带CRB可分为两部分:与阵列相关的部分包括阵列结构、目标方位及基阵参考点等因素;与信号相关的部分包括信号频率二阶矩及信噪比等。(2)相互独立的两个目标源,每个源的CRB与单源时相应目标源得到的结果相等。(3)两个相关源之间的夹角大于一个波束宽度时,每个源的CRB与单源结果也很接近。(4)由于信源数估计错误,单源误以为是双源,将使CRB值趋于无穷大。仿真结果验证了理论分析的正确性。因此,宽带CRB除给出宽带方位估计算法的最佳估计性能外,还能从方位估计的角度,为宽带阵列及信号波形设计等提供有益的指导。      

On one-port characterization of noise sources in ducts by using external loads

Equivalent acoustic source characterization of duct-borne fluid machinery noise is often undertaken by interpolating the results of two-microphone pressure measurements with different external acoustic loads over a linear one-port source model. If the source is time-invariant, the one-port source characteristics can be determined by using only two external loads. This is well known as the two-load method. An extension of the two-load method for time-variant sources is also available and known as the multiple-load method. In these methods the source is treated as a ‘black-box’. This paper addresses the problem of one-port source characterization when the linear operations inherent in the ‘black-box’ are known explicitly. The equations governing the explicit one-port source models are derived and the source characteristics are shown to be measurable using only few acoustic loads. It is not the purpose of this paper to discuss the application of these models to any specific fluid machinery; however, of particular interest are the explicit source models that require only two loads. Numerical results are presented to show some features of such time-invariant and time-variant explicit one-port source models.     

A passive source ranging method based on the frequency warping transform of the vertical intensity flux in shallow water

The phase of cross-correlation function of two different normal modes contains source range information, which can be extracted by warping transform due to the dispersive characteristics of the shallow water waveguide. The autocorrelation function of the received pressure or particle velocity contains both modal autocorrelation component(MAC) and modal cross-correlation component(MCC), with the former part usually treated as interference for source ranging. Because the real part of the vertical intensity flux(RPVIF) only contains MCC, a passive impulsive source ranging method based on the frequency warping transform of RPVIF with a single vector receiver in shallow water is presented. Using a waveguide-invariant-based frequency warping operator, the cross-correlation components of two different modes in the vertical intensity flux are warped into separable impulsive sequences, the time delays of which are subsequently used for source ranging. The advantages of source ranging based on warping the vertical intensity flux compared with warping the pressure autocorrelation function are pointed out, and the experiment results are also presented.     

Uncertainty estimation in simultaneous Bayesian tracking and environmental inversion

This paper develops a Bayesian approach for two related inverse problems: tracking an acoustic source when ocean environmental parameters are unknown, and determining environmental parameters using acoustic data from an unknown (moving) source. The formulation considers source and environmental parameters as unknown random variables constrained by noisy acoustic data and by prior information on parameter values (e.g., physical limits for environmental properties) and on inter-parameter relationships (limits on radial and vertical source speed). The goal is not simply to estimate parameter values, but to rigorously determine parameter uncertainty distributions, thereby quantifying the information content of the data/prior to resolve source and environmental parameters. Results are presented as marginal posterior probability densities (PPDs) for environmental parameters and joint marginal PPDs for source ranges and depths. Given the numerically intensive inversion, an efficient Markov-chain Monte Carlo importance-sampling approach is developed which combines Metropolis and heat-bath Gibbs' sampling, employs efficient proposal distributions based on a linearized PPD approximation, and considers nonunity sampling temperatures to ensure a complete parameter search. The approach is illustrated with two simulated examples representing tracking a quiet submerged source and geoacoustic inversion using noise from an unknown ship of opportunity. In both cases, source, seabed, and water-column parameters are unknown.     

Ion source with electron ionization for a portable mass spectrometer

An ion source with electron ionization is considered. The charged-particle flow at the exit from this source has a cross section of ∼0.1 × 0.1 mm, an angle spread of 2° × 2°, a relative energy spread of <0.5%, and an energy range of 0.5–3.0 keV. This ion source is intended for systems where an ion beam is focused in two mutually perpendicular directions. The ion source design makes it possible to ionize a sample locally (in a volume of ∼10 mm³), where the concentration of the particles under study exceeds the concentration averaged over the volume of the vacuum chamber of the mass spectrometer by two to three orders of magnitude. The ion-optical properties of the source are numerically simulated, and the optimum parameters of the source are chosen. Examples of the application of the ion source are given for the mass-spectrometric determination of metal salts in aqueous solutions and of gases and volatile compounds in samples in various phase states.

A novel acoustic emission beamforming method with two uniform linear arrays on plate-like structures

A novel acoustic emission (AE) source localization approach based on beamforming with two uniform linear arrays is proposed, which can localize acoustic sources without accurate velocity, and is particularly suited for plate-like structures. Two uniform line arrays are distributed in the x-axis direction and y-axis direction. The accurate x and y coordinates of AE source are determined by the two arrays respectively. To verify the location accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed approach, the simulation of AE wave propagation in a steel plate based on the finite element method and the pencil-lead-broken experiment are conducted, and the AE signals obtained from the simulations and experiments are analyzed using the proposed method. Moreover, to study the ability of the proposed method more comprehensive, a plate of carbon fiber reinforced plastics is taken for the pencil-lead-broken test, and the AE source localization is also realized. The results indicate that the two uniform linear arrays can localize different sources accurately in two directions even though the localizing velocity is deviated from the real velocity, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method in AE source localization for plate-like structures.     

Effect of noise and occupancy on optimal reverberation times for speech intelligibility in classrooms

The question of what is the optimal reverberation time for speech intelligibility in an occupied classroom has been studied recently in two different ways, with contradictory results. Experiments have been performed under various conditions of speech-signal to background-noise level difference and reverberation time, finding an optimal reverberation time of zero. Theoretical predictions of appropriate speech-intelligibility metrics, based on diffuse-field theory, found nonzero optimal reverberation times. These two contradictory results are explained by the different ways in which the two methods account for background noise, both of which are unrealistic. To obtain more realistic and accurate predictions, noise sources inside the classroom are considered. A more realistic treatment of noise is incorporated into diffuse-field theory by considering both speech and noise sources and the effects of reverberation on their steady-state levels. The model shows that the optimal reverberation time is zero when the speech source is closer to the listener than the noise source, and nonzero when the noise source is closer than the speech source. Diffuse-field theory is used to determine optimal reverberation times in unoccupied classrooms given optimal values for the occupied classroom. Resulting times can be as high as several seconds in large classrooms; in some cases, optimal values are unachievable, because the occupants contribute too much absorption.     

Engineering formulas for ground effects on broad-band noise

A simple approximation of ground effect is analyzed for two cases: (1) stationary point source and (2) moving line source (train). The approximation contains three adjustable parameters that are estimated from the exact theory (case 1) and from field measurements (case 2). Finally, the results of computation are used for noise prediction.     

Identification of two simultaneous partial discharge sources in an oil-pressboard insulation system using acoustic emission techniques

Insulation failure is one of the major causes of catastrophic failure of transformers. It is established that partial discharge (PD) causes insulation degradation and premature failure of insulation. In power apparatus, more than one PD source may be active simultaneously. The nature of insulation degradation for multiple PD sources is different from that due to single PD source. Therefore, it will be helpful for severity assessment of insulation degradation, if the number of active PD sources are identified and classified. This paper presents a method for identification and classification of two simultaneously active PD sources using acoustic emission techniques. The acoustic emission (AE) signals are measured for laboratory simulated PD in an oil-pressboard insulation system for three different electrode systems. The measurements of partial discharge acoustic emission (PDAE) signals are carried out for single PD source and for two simultaneous PD sources. The measured signals are analyzed using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), box counting fractal dimension and lacunarity. Box counting fractal dimension and lacunarity are calculated for DWT decomposed signal of major frequency band. Energy distribution in different frequency bands of DWT decomposed signal along with box counting fractal dimension and lacunarity is used for classification of two simultaneous PD sources.
