PSD Normalization
It is possible to normalize the Frequency resolution of the measured spectrum
data by scaling it in PSD (Power Spectral Density units
It describes how Power of time series is distributed with frequency.
Practically is the squared Fourier transform, i.e. auto-power spectrum, divided
by frequency resolution in Hz.
It can be applied to spectra related to:
Insulation IL or TL spectra

FFT to 1/3 octaves (Energy average)
Transfer function derived FFTs are not necessarly concerned with Energy averaging, as it is
the case of an Acoustic absorption coefficient measured according to ASTM standards.
In this case only the energy values of FFT lines corresponding to 1/3 octave center bands
are taken in account
Where Energy average is an issue, like Acoustic insulation spectra as IL or TL, FFT lines
fromthe PSD spectrumare added together within a Frequency interval (F1 F2)
corresponding to the given 1/3 octave filter
Definitions:
F =Frequency range
N =FFT lines
f =Frequency resolution
Ns =minimum number of lines required for 1/3 octave filter
Fi =Frequency of i-th data sample

Normal Incidence Absorption Coefficient
ISO standard 10534-2 it is not very good actually and we do
not recommend to follow it in total.
Our recommendation it is to use the positions M1 and M2 or
M2 and MII which are the original positions in the earlier ISO
and are also the best one in our experience.
Mic. Positions R and MI have been introduced due to the
latest revision of ISO 10534-2 which requires a higher
Microphones distance for low frequencies.
However, if you want to use position R, you shall move the
sample about 15cm away to assure a minimum distance
between the Mic. R and the sample.
You just have to move backward the piston, it is very simple.

From the general definition of TL in which:
TL measurements in a tube is based on the
Transmission Loss Matrixa unique
parameter for each material.
We are interested just in the 1st term of the
Matrix (f) which is the same as in the
definition of TL
Notes:
Material sample with Symmetric
thickness yeld to error in Cremer
method for calculating the Matrix
Determinant
TL results with Kundt method are
very similar to 2 rooms method
There are 4 waves to consider:
The Forward travelling wave is defined by its
incident part A
1
and transmitted part B
2
The Backward travelling wave is defined by its
incident part A
2
and transmitted part B
1
And we can calculate the coefficient in terms
of Sound Pressure p measured at each
microphone positions at distance x


System of equations in 4 unknowns can
be reduced to a two loadscase in which the
Sound Pressure (G

assumed as reference for cross-spectra taken

different anechoic ends, indicated as pedix

From ISO 10534 it can be seen that Sound absorption coefficient of the material can be determined using
Standardized Kundt apparatus with 2 methods:
SWT standing wave ratio and TF transfer function method
While the SWT intrinsically get to single Frequency values, steady state sinusoidal excitation, the TF is based
on FFT and FRF so it get to expressed in a full spectrum
A problem: how to derive 1/3 or 1/1 octave values from TF method?
Common sense says: take the values at the Frequencies corresponding to 1/3 octave bands nominal value!
New methodology based on the measurement of the reverberation time in the tube.
It can be considered a kind of hybrid among ISO 10534 but it is more precise and energetically correct.
The sound signal is an exponential sine sweep of which it is measured the Impulse Response Function IRF.
By convoluting the IFR with 1/3 octaves IIR we obtain the from a whole 1/3 octave bands and not just
from a single Frequency line!

Impulse Response (from T60 measurment)
A newmethod for the measurement of single and coupledabsorption coefficients
It is basedon the reverberation time in the Kundt tube
The method produces 1/3 octave band sound absorption values and complies with ISO-ASTM results
but resolves ambiguities in the conversionof FFT values into 1/3 octave values.
The sound energy is injected at side and moves in both directions and build up the standing waves
After each impact of the plane waves with the samples at the ends the intensity of the waves is reduced
yelding to the concept of Reverberation Time
Reverberation time (T60) is obtained from the measurement of the impulse response using a
methodologyknownas exponential sine sweep:
Squared Impulse Response
and Schroeder back-
integration to evaluate the
reverberation time in the tube
with an exceptional S/N ratio.

also be performed.
The excitation signal is a sine sweep and the
impulse response of each microphone position is
determined. The maxima peaks shift of the
measurements gives the distance x1 to x4 and
the amplitude coefficient of the Complex Pressure
function are determined and used to estimated
the coefficient of Transfer Function Matrix
