Estimation of Modal Decay Parameters from Noisy Response Measurements*

چکیده
Parametric analysis, modeling, and equalization (inverse modeling) of reverberant and resonating systems find many applications in audio and acoustics. These include room and concert hall acoustics, resonators in musical instruments, and resonant behavior in audio reproduction systems. Estimating the reverberation time or the modal decay rate are important measurement problems in room and concert hall acoustics [1], where signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of only 30–50 dB are common. The same problems can be found, for example, in the estimation of parameters in model-based sound synthesis of musical instruments, such as vibrating strings or body modes of string instruments [2]. Reliable methods to estimate parameters from noisy measurements are thus needed. In an ideal case of modal behavior, after a possible initial transient, the decay is exponential until a steady-state noise floor is encountered. The parameters of primary interest to be estimated are

Output-only Modal Analysis of a Beam Via Frequency Domain Decomposition Method Using Noisy Data
The output data from a structure is the building block for output-only modal analysis. The structure response in the output data, however, is usually contaminated with noise. Naturally, the success of output-only methods in determining the modal parameters of a structure depends on noise level. In this paper, the possibility and accuracy of identifying the modal parameters of a simply supported...

متن کاملDetermining the Accuracy of Modal Parameter Estimation Methods
The most common type of modal testing system today uses an FFT analyzer to measure a set of Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) from a structure, and then uses a parameter estimation (curve fitting) method to determine the structure’s modal properties from the FRF measurements. The curve fitting method typically “fits” an analytical model to the FRF data, (or its equivalent Impulse Response dat...

متن کاملRoom acoustic modal analysis using Bayesian inferencea)
Strong modal behavior can produce undesirable acoustical effects, particularly in recording studios and other small rooms. Although closed-form solutions exist to predict modes in rectangular rooms with parallel walls, such solutions are typically not available for rooms with even modest geometrical complexity. This work explores a method to identify multiple decaying modes in experimentally me...
