Highlighted Research

Soundscape and its context: A framework based on a systematic review

Research consistently shows that context is essential for interpreting and assessing soundscapes. However, soundscape studies still lack a clear definition of context and use inconsistent measures to represent it.

End-to-end underwater acoustic transmission loss prediction with adaptive multi-scale dilated network

Sound propagation in the ocean is difficult to model because the environment is highly complex. Conventional calculations of acoustic transmission loss depend on solving complicated partial differential equations.

Estimating sound pressure levels from distributed acoustic sensing data using 20 Hz fin whale calls

Distributed acoustic sensing could support quantitative underwater monitoring, but its measurement response is not yet fully characterized. The study uses 20 Hz fin-whale calls to estimate how DAS-recorded strain corresponds to acoustic pressure.

Sonar micro-Doppler effect induced by ship oscillatory motion in waves: Phenomenon, model, and experimentation

Modulated sidebands in a ship’s line-spectrum radiation have usually been linked to reflections from a rough sea surface, although vessel-motion Doppler effects may also contribute. The authors model the phenomenon as a micro-Doppler effect produced by wave-driven ship oscillations.

A compact acoustic metamaterial based on Helmholtz resonators with side slits for low-frequency sound absorption

Acoustic metamaterials can absorb low-frequency noise efficiently in structures thinner than the wavelength, but their complexity often limits practical, large-scale use. The study proposes a simpler, compact design using side-slit Helmholtz resonators for low-frequency absorption.

Acoustic resonators above 100 GHz

Piezoelectric resonators are widely used in signal processing because they are compact, have low insertion loss, and can achieve high quality factors. The shift of consumer electronics toward millimeter-wave frequencies is creating demand for resonators that operate at much higher frequencies.

Low-frequency multi-band sound absorption in triangular fractal acoustic metamaterials

Achieving broadband absorption of low-frequency sound in a structure much smaller than the wavelength remains difficult. The authors introduce a triangular fractal metamaterial combining perforated face sheets with coiled channels backed by cavities.

Enabling broadband low-frequency sound absorption with a stepped Helmholtz-honeycomb metamaterial

To improve low- and mid-frequency noise absorption without adding excessive weight or thickness, the study proposes a honeycomb structure containing stepped, multi-cavity Helmholtz resonators. Carefully designed resonance coupling strengthens absorption within selected frequency ranges.

Single-shot capable surface acoustic wave dispersion measurement of a layered plate

Current surface-acoustic-wave dispersion methods for characterizing layered systems are often slow because they require scanning the excitation or detection position. The proposed method obtains evenly spaced points on the acoustic-wave mode from a single measurement, overcoming this speed limitation.

Amplitude noise cancellation of microwave tones

Carrier noise in coherent microwave tones can reduce sensitivity and produce unwanted heating in systems such as force sensors, precision clocks, and macroscopic quantum experiments. Phase-noise cancellation has advanced considerably, but it does not help when amplitude noise is the main limitation.
