Abstract: | The self-demodulation property of finite-amplitude ultrasonic waves can be applied with parametric loudspeaker to produce audible sound. A special characteristic of the reproduced sound waves using parametric loudspeaker is its high directivity. However, the demodulated signal from parametric loudspeaker suffers from high distortion. To reduce the distortion in the demodulated signal, preprocessing of the modulating signal is usually employed. To determine the effectiveness of the preprocessing technique, an important practical constraint on the bandwidth of the ultrasonic transducer of the parametric loudspeaker should be accounted. In this paper, we shall discuss a class of preprocessing techniques that is based on quadrature amplitude modulation. As compared to the conventional preprocessing methods used with bandlimited ultrasonic transducer, the demodulated signal from our proposed preprocessing techniques exhibits lower distortion. |
