Williams, PE Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Microelectronics Research Center The University of Texas at Austin http://www.mrc.utexas.edu Displacement detection using optical interferometric techniques allows for high sensitivity and low sensor self-noise which are unmatched by other displacement measurement methods. However, diffraction gratings commonly used…

Optimizing Acoustical Parameter-Extraction Methods

Friday, September 9, 2016 4:00 p.m. in ETC 4.150 Dr. Daniel R. Tengelsen Bose Corporation Framingham, Massachusetts www.bose.com The impedance tube has long been used as an acoustical parameter-extraction device due to the fact that, under certain assumptions, it can be modelled using a one-dimensional wave equation. Since the 1980’s, several techniques have been proposed…
