## This note details an investigation of the performance of an acoustical duct used for the calibration of devices such as microphones, sound level meters and sound intensity probes at frequencies less than 250 Hz. The accuracy of the plane wave field produced in the duct was examined by measuring t

A short review, with examples, is given of a two-microphone transfer function method intended for making measurements in a tube or duct system. The method, originally proposed by Chung and Blaser, 1 has proved useful in measuring the absorption coefficient, impedance and transmission loss, when dealing with plane wave propagation, i.e. for frequencies below the duct cut-off frequency. For the purpose of measuring the transmission loss of duct elements, a possible means of extending the useful frequency range by two or three octaves is proposed, based on subdividing the actual duct, at the measurement site, into a bundle of smaller, parallel ducts.

A mathematical model for the radiation of baffled finite ducts is presented. This model was developed to be used for the design process of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners. The added value of utilizing this model over using general purpose acoustics software is the increased insight into th

Although many measurements have been made of the propagation of sound over grassland, there are relatively few data over cultivated surfaces. The propagation of sound over an absorbing surface is in#uenced by the impedance of the surface and the locations of the source and the receiver. A reduction
