Prerequisites
Introductory acoustics lecture
 
Skills to be acquired in this module
The students acquire knowledge about advanced concepts in acoustics, electro-acoustics, room acoustics, acoustical measurement methods and virtual acoustics. The students acquire skills to critically and independently apply these concepts and methods to acoustical problems.
Module contents
Acoustical measurement methods (sound pressure, spectrum, transfer function, intensity); Non-linear measurement methods (Hammerstein model); Inverse problems in acoustics and regularization; High-resolution methods, acoustic camera; Binaural virtual acoustics; Spherical harmonics, virtual acoustics (Ambisonics, Wave Field Synthesis); Transaural systems; Room acoustics simulation.
