Application of parametric speakers to radio acoustic sounding system

Early Forest Fire Detection Using Radio-Acoustic Sounding System

Automated early fire detection systems have recently received a significant amount of attention due to their importance in protecting the global environment. Some emergent technologies such as ground-based, satellite-based remote sensing and distributed sensor networks systems have been used to detect forest fires in the early stages. In this study, a radio-acoustic sounding system with fine sp...

Atmosphere sounding using GPS radio occultation

Introduction On July 17, 1995 the U.S. Air Force announced “ .. that today the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation has met all requirements for Full Operational Capability”. Apart from precise positioning GPS signals also can be used to derive characteristic properties of the propagation medium (neutral atmosphere and ionosphere). Onboard the Low-Earth-Orbiting MICROLAB-1 sa...

Chirp sounding the shallow water acoustic channel

Characterisation of the shallow water acoustic communications channel involves the analysis of sounding data. Chirp signals have many properties which make them an attractive choice for channel sounding. They are easily generated and channel responses can be processed in the time or frequency domain for channel estimation. In the rapidly varying shallow water environment time domain techniques ...

More acoustic sounding timbre from guitar pickups

Amplified guitars with pickups tend to sound ’dry’ and electric, whether the instrument is acoustic or electric. Vibration or pressure sensing pickups for acoustic guitars do not capture the body vibrations with fidelity and in the electric guitar with magnetic pickups there often is no resonating body at all. Especially with an acoustic guitar there is a need to reinforce the sound by retainin...
