چکیده
Sound field simulation is widely used for acoustic design; however, this simulation needs many computational resources. On the other hand, FPGA becomes major for acceleration. To take advantage of hardware acceleration by FPGA, hardware oriented algorithm which consumes small number of gates and memory is necessary. This paper addresses hardware acceleration of sound field simulation using FPGA. Improved Digital Huygens Model (DHM) for hardware is implemented and speed up ratio is examined. For 2D simulation, the implemented accelerator is 1,170 times faster than software simulation. For 3D simulation, it is shown that FDTD based method is suitable for hardware implementation and required hardware resource are estimated.

متن کاملModulation and Demodulation of Steerable Ultrasound Beams for Audio Transmission and Rendering Templates for Dafx-08, Finland, France
Nonlinear effects in ultrasound propagation can be used for generating highly directive audible sound. In order to do so, we can modulate the amplitude of the audio signal and send it to an ultrasound transducer. When played back at a sufficiently high sound pressure level, due to a nonlinear behavior of the medium, the ultrasonic signal gets self-demodulated. The resulting signal has two impor...

Spectutils is a GNU Octave toolkit for analyzing and visualizing audio signals. Spectutils allows to display oscillograms, FFT spectrograms as well as pitch detection graphs. Spectutils can best be characterized as a user interface for GNU Octave, which integrates signal analysis and visualization functionality into dedicated function calls. Therefore, signal analysis with Spectutils requires l...
متن کاملChromax, the Other Side of the Spectral Delay between Signal Processing and Composition Templates for Dafx-08, Finland, France
Spectral delays have been used for a long time as a way to colour and shape spectral characteristics of sound. Most of available software is controlled by drawing an envelope on a window that represents spectral bins, and by setting a maximum delay time. Despite its comfort, such a simplistic approach does not imply any methods for allowing symbolic manipulations on spectral data that are often...
