Explore the different system components involved in acoustic communication using a representative set of practical applications.
This engineering course is the continuation of the edX course “Fundamentals of Communication Acoustics.” Communication acoustics is defined as the way sounds travel from a source, through a channel and finally to a receiver.
In this follow-course, we will cover a representative set of practical applications and look at the different system components involved in acoustic communication.
What you will learn:
- Room acoustics
- Methods for spatial sound capture and presentation
- Automatic speech recognition
- Text-to-speech synthesis
- Product sound design
- Perceptual Audio Coding
