An experimental analysis method for the incident sound field using propagation mode expansion: Study on the incident sound field in the insulation performance measurement for parti... by Yu Aida, Naohisa Inoue, Tetsuya Sakuma

“…In this paper, an experimental method is proposed to analyze the characteristics of the incident sound fields in dwelling rooms, where the propagation mode expansion is applied to the complex sound pressure observed on the two layers of planar microphone array. The proposed method is applied to numerical models to simulate the incident sound fields to obtain information on its accuracy and application limitations, and the applicability of the method to ordinary rooms is discussed. …”
