Introduction in the world of how sounds travel from a source, through a channel, and finally to a receiver.
This engineering course covers the fundamentals of communication acoustics – the way sounds travel to a receiver, originating from a source and conducted through a channel. We will look at the different system components involved in acoustic communication, including those between humans, between humans and machines, and between machines.
The various topics covered include Speech Acoustics, Hearing Acoustics, Electroacoustics, the Human Auditory System, and Digital Audio Processing methods.
What you will learn:
- Fundamentals of physical acoustics
- Speech acoustics
- Psychoacoustics
- Signals and systems
