-
Microphone/acoustic fundamentals - key terminology, acoustic waves and sound fields, the source-path-receiver model, microphone types, selecting the right microphone for your application, etc.
-
Sound metrics, measurement, and frequency determination - broadband metrics used to describe sound, averaging concepts, octave and third octave bands, and narrow band frequency analysis.
-
Microphones as part of an integrated system - microphone and DAQ: how they interact, understanding the output results, system level calibration, data processing, etc.
-
Testing in wind tunnels or the outdoors - isolating the acoustic field from air flow pressure to make accurate acoustic measurements.
-
Piezo pressure sensors for wind tunnels and aeroacoustic applications
-
Product demonstrations - coherent/incoherent signals, sound directivity, identifying noise floor, and anti-aliasing.
The cost of $99 includes lunch and training materials.
