Abstract:
A device 1 for measuring a propagation time of a sound wave comprises a sound source means 11 and a calculation means 12. The sound source means 11 outputs a time stretched pulse as a sound source signal input to a speaker 3. The calculation means 12 calculates a cross-correlation function of the time stretched pulse and the sound signal which is output from the speaker 3 and is received in a microphone 4. Based on the cross-correlation function, the propagation time of the sound wave between the speaker 3 and the microphone 4 is found.
Abstract:
A device 20 for detecting a resonant frequency comprises a sound source means 21, a signal synthesization switching means 26 and 27, and a measuring means 25. The signal synthesization switching means 26 and 27 are capable of switching between a first state in which the signal synthesization switching means 26 and 27 outputs a measurement signal and a second state in which the signal synthesization switching means 26 and 27 outputs a synthesized signal containing the measurement signal and the signal output from a microphone 14. The device 20 detects the resonant frequency based on comparison between the first amplitude frequency characteristic measured in the first state and the second amplitude frequency characteristic measured in the second state.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a digital communication system which is free from noise generated in a receiver. A transmitter converts an analog input signal to a digital signal, and then a power level detector 5 compares the digital signal with a predetermined level. In accordance with the result, the transmitter transmits a transmission signal which includes the digital signal or a digital signal amplified from that digital signal, and a control bit indicative of the result of comparison. The receiver, in accordance with the control bit included in the received digital signal, outputs an analog signal converted from the received digital signal or an analog signal converted from the received digital signal after it is digitally amplified.
Abstract:
An automatic mixer apparatus is described which comprises a plurality of channels each including a level detecting circuit, a comparator and a voltage control amplifier, a gain control circuit for controlling the gains of the voltage control amplifiers of the respective channels and a mixer circuit for mixing signals from the voltage control amplifiers. The level detecting circuit detects a level of an aural signal received at the corresponding channel and the comparator operates to compare the detected level from the detecting circuit and a reference level. When the detected level is higher than the reference level, the comparator outputs a comparison signal to the corresponding voltage control amplifier to turn on. The gain control circuit receives the comparison signals from the whole comparators and outputs a gain control signal to the respective voltage amplifiers whereby the gains thereof are controlled in accordance with the number of the comparison signals received at the gain control circuit.
