Title: COMPONENT ACOUSTIC TESTING PLANE WAVE TUBE AND REVERBERANT CHAMBER METHODS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4335714

The design features and operating parameters of plane wave tube and reverberant chambers are described. Four different size plane wave tubes are used with a driving power of 200 audio watts to achieve sound pressure levels up to 154 db between 300 and 7500 cps. Two reverberant chambers are described and their performance evaluated. A comparison is made of the merits of plane wave sound fields and reverberant sound fields for testing purposes. (auth)
