MEASUREMENT OF LONG IMPULSE RESPONSE BY USING A TIME-STRETCHED PULSE

The transfer function of an acoustic system, in general, often ex­ hibits a wide dynamic range and a very long impulse response. The time-stretched pulse (TSP) proposed by Aoshima (ATSP) has a small peak・facto호 and is accordingly suitable for the measuring impulse responses. The pulse is not so suitable, however, for the measurement of impulse responses over a wide frequency range. In this paper, we try to generalize and optimize this method (OATSP). This makes the method applicable for measuring of impulse responses longer than the length of the TSP. An analysis of error in such a case is also shown. Finally, we discuss how to implement this technique in specific measurement conditions.
