Focuses on the characteristics of sound waves in the context of time structures

Offers a time domain approach to provide an informative and intuitively understandable description of various acoustic topics such as sound waves travelling in an acoustic tube or in other media

Starts from the introductory topic of sinusoidal waves, discussing the formal relationship between the time and frequency domains

Summarizes fundamental notions of Fourier or z -transformations and linear systems theory and offers **** interesting examples from acoustical research

Includes simple exercises designed to be solved without the need for a computer

Requires only a basic knowledge of acoustics and signal processing

Autorentext

Mikio Tohyama holds a Doctorate of Engineering from Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan. For the next 18 years beginning in 1975, Dr. Tohyama was involved in research projects in acoustics and signal processing at the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) Research Laboratories. He was a professor at Kogakuin University (1993-2003) and Waseda University (2003-2012) in sound and perception. Since 2012 he has operated his research consulting firm, Wave Science Study (WSS). His present interest is signatures in spatial sound and perception in the wavenumber space. Dr. Tohyama enjoys playing the piano every day.
