Acoustic Signals and Hearing: A Time-Envelope and Phase Spectral Approach

Acoustic Signals and Hearing: A Time-Envelope and Phase Spectral Approach is unique in presenting the principles of sound and sound fields from the perspective of hearing, mainly through the use of speech and musical sounds, making it very suitable for acoustic engineers and researchers in today's environment of media technology. Understanding acoustics - the science of sound - is essential for audio and communications engineers working in media technology. Most importantly, engineers need to understand what makes a sound as it is heard, what makes speech intelligible, and how a particular sound is displayed within a multitude of sounds. Unique presentation of sound and sound fields from the perspective of hearingCovers source-signature and sound-path analysisUses the new envelope and phase analysis approach to signal and waveform analysisProvides new perspectives-through phase properties-on ways to solve acoustical problems Presents straightforward mathematical formulations that give familiarity to discrete expressions of sound wavesGives a seamless and intuitive understanding-from mathematical expressions, to a subjective impression of sound INDICE: 1. Introduction 2. Resonance Systems 3. Modulation waveform and masking effect 4. Spectral and temporal effects of signals on speech intelligibility 5. Spectral envelope and source signature analysis 6. Room reverberation theory and transfer function 7. Intelligibility and reverberation 8. Subjective evaluation for coherent region in reverberant space 9. Spatial impression and binaural sound field
