Acoustical Measurement Techniques

The course contains a part on fundamentals of transducers, and of the signal processing and statistics involved in an acoustic measurement. The rest of the course will cover a range of typical measurement tasks in acoustics, ranging from sound radiation to room and building acoustics, underwater acoustics, psychoacoustics and hearing.

The course will provide experience with acoustic measurement techniques and instrumentation. Knowledge: The candidate has: - Good knowledge of the theory behind common measurement tasks in acoustics - A deep understanding of accuracy with regards to transducers, environmental conditions and signal processing involved in an acoustic measurement situation - In-depth knowledge on national and international standards for acoustic measurements. Skills: The student can: - Perform standardized measurements according to relevant standards - Analyze stochastic and systematic errors that affect acoustic measurements - Write good and accurate reports on the setup and execution of standardized measurements. General competence: The student can collaborate around the solution of practical measurement tasks and evaluate the quality of the measurement results.
