The Realization for Sound Pressure Unit Using Laser Doppler Anemometry in a Travelling Wave Tube

Abstract:

Abstract. To realize the sound pressure unit directly, the method of sound pressure measurement based on acoustic particle velocity was described. In order to get a simple acoustic field, a travelling wave tube was designed. The sound pressure distribution obtained by microphone along the tube was measured. The result showed the acoustic field inside the tube could be considered as travelling wave and the sound pressure is equal to the product of the air density, sound speed and the particle velocity. The laser Doppler Anemometry was used to measure the particle velocity in the acoustic field. The modulated Doppler signal was obtained by measurement system. With the spectral analysis of Doppler signal and the signal model, the particle velocity was obtained with the Bessel function analysis. The comparison of sound pressure measured by microphone and the value deduced from the velocity measured by laser Doppler system shows that deviations between two methods were 0.04 dB at 650 Hz and discrepancies were less than 0.34 dB at frequencies from 300 Hz to 1k Hz.
