Acoustics

frequency band

Science; Acoustics

A continuous range of frequencies between two limiting frequencies.

A coulomb is a unit of electrical charge, defined as the quantity of electrical charge transferred by 1 ampere in 1 second. Symbol C. 1 microcoulomb = 1 x 10 -6 C = 1 μC 1 picocoulomb = 1 x 10 -12 ...

exponential

Science; Acoustics

A decaying exponential weighting function, specified by a starting point (shift) and a constant time (length). Use exponential weighting for exponentially decaying transients longer than one time ...

radian (rad)

Science; Acoustics

A derived SI unit of angle measurement. One radian is the angle made at the center of a circle by an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. Since the circumference of a circle = ...

immission level

Science; Acoustics

A descriptor for sound exposure, in decibels, representing the total sound energy incident on the ear over a specified period of time.

filter

Science; Acoustics

A device for separating components of a signal on the basis of their frequency. It allows components in one or more frequency bands to pass relatively un attenuated, and it attenuates components in ...
