It is an important issue to clarify the minimum required size of a specimen for the accurate measurement of oblique incidence absorption coefficient. Investigation is made on the basis of experimental studies in a laboratory, using Aoshima's time stretched pulse technique. Measurements are carried out for glass fiber with thickness of 50 and 100 mm as highly absorbing materials and for ceramic with a thickness of 52 mm as relatively low absorbing material. The tested surface areas range from 0.0625 to 42 m
2 for glass fiber and from 0.1563 to 39.168 m
2 for ceramics. The absorption coefficients are determined at incidence angles from 0 to 45° in increments of 15°. With consideration of an active surface bounded by ellipse orbit, the minimum required surface area is 16 m
2 with a ratio of length to width of about 1.25. This value is twice the area size of the active surface, which is calculated from the geometry of source and microphone, and the width of the temporal window.
