Abstract:
Nearfield wideband beamformers for microphone arrays have wide applications in multichannel speech enhancement. The nearfield wideband beamformer design based on convex optimization is one of the typical representatives of robust approaches. However, in this approach, the coefficient of convex optimization is a constant, which has not used all the freedom provided by the weighting coefficient efficiently. Therefore, it is still necessary to further improve the performance. To solve this problem, we developed a robust nearfield wideband beamformer design approach based on adaptive-weighted convex optimization. The proposed approach defines an adaptive-weighted function by the adaptive array signal processing theory and adjusts its value flexibly, which has improved the beamforming performance. During each process of the adaptive updating of the weighting function, the convex optimization problem can be formulated as a SOCP (Second-Order Cone Program) problem, which could be solved efficiently using the well-established interior-point methods. This method is suitable for the case where the sound source is in the nearfield range, can work well in the presence of microphone mismatches, and is applicable to arbitrary array geometries. Several design examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach and the correctness of the theoretical analysis.

Abstract:
This thesis considers the design of a beamformer which can enhance desired signals in an environment consisting of broadband nearfield and/or farfield sources. The thesis contains: a formulation of a set of analysis tools which can provide insight into the intrinsic structure of array processing problems; a methodology for nearfield beamforming; theory and design of a general broadband beamformer; and a consideration of a coherent nearfield broadband adaptive beamforming problem. To a lesser extent, the source localization problem and background noise modeling are also treated. ¶: A set of analysis tools called modal analysis techniques which can be used to a solve wider class of array signal processing problems, is first formulated. The solution to the classical wave equation is studied in detail and exploited in order to develop these techniques. ¶: Three novel methods of designing a beamformer having a desired nearfield broadband beampattern are presented. The first method uses the modal analysis techniques to transform the desired nearfield beampattern to an equivalent farfield beampattern. A farfield beamformer is then designed for a transformed farfield beampattern which, if achieved, gives the desired nearfield pattern exactly. The second method establishes an asymptotic equivalence, up to complex conjugation, of two problems: (i) determining the nearfield performance of a farfield beampattern specification, and (ii) determining the equivalent farfield beampattern corresponding to a nearfield beampattern specification. Using this reciprocity relationship a computationally simple nearfield beamforming procedure is developed. The third method uses the modal analysis techniques to find a linear transformation between the array weights required to have the desired beampattern for farfield and nearfield, respectively. ¶: An efficient parameterization for the general broadband beamforming problem is introduced with a single parameter to focus the beamformer to a desired operating radius and another set of parameters to control the actual broadband beampattern shape. This parameterization is derived using the modal analysis techniques and the concept of the theoretical continuous aperture. ¶: A design of an adaptive beamformer to operate in a signal environment consisting of broadband nearfield sources, where some of interfering signals may be correlated with desired signal is also considered. Application of modal analysis techniques to noise modeling and broadband coherent source localization conclude the thesis.

Abstract:
Acoustical-based imaging systems have found merit in determining the behavior of vibrating structures. This thesis focuses on the continued development of the nearfield acoustic holography (NAH) approach. Conventional NAH consists of first measuring the pressure field on a two-dimensional conformal surface and then propagating this data back to the vibrating structure to obtain information about the source, such as the normal velocity distribution. Recent work has been done which incorporates particle velocity information into the traditional NAH measurements to reduce the number of measurements required. This advancement has made NAH a more affordable tool for acoustical imaging and sound field characterization. It is proposed that the inclusion of velocity information into traditional NAH can further increase its usefulness. By propagating the velocity and pressure values independently and recombining them on the reconstruction surface, the pressure field and energy density fields can be predicted at any point in the sound field. It is also proposed that the same NAH measurement can be used to predict farfield directivity. The inclusion of velocity values into the NAH technique also provides a means for predicting energy density (ED) anywhere within the acoustic field. These two developments would allow a single NAH measurement to provide much more information about an acoustic source and its radiated sound field. Experimental testing shows that NAH is successful at predicting the shape of the resulting ED field and directivity pattern with some error in amplitude. The best performance of the technique is with a planer source resulting in an average amplitude error of 18.5% over the entire field.

Abstract:
In this thesis the in-plane pattern distortion resulting from the use of Evanescent Near Field Optical Lithography (ENFOL) masks was investigated. ENFOL is a high resolution low-cost technique of lithography that is able to pattern features beyond the diffraction limit of light. Due to its use of the evanescent near field, ENFOL requires the use of conformable masks for intimate contact. Such masks can stretch and skew as they come into contact with silicon substrates and therefore distort the high resolution features patterned on them. It was desired to measure this distortion to ascertain the patterning performance of ENFOL masks and possibly correct for any uniform distortion found. To this end a sophisticated measuring process was successfully demonstrated. This involved the use of a Raith 150 Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) system with precision laser interferometer stage and metrology software module for automated measurements. Custom software was written for the Raith to enable it to take additional measurements to compensate for electron beam drift. Processing algorithms were then employed to using the measurements to compensate for beam drift and correcting for shift and rotation systematic errors. The performance of the in-plane distortion measuring process was found to have a precision of 60nm. With the ability to measure distortion, ENFOL masks were used to pattern substrates and distortion was found to be large, on the order of 1µm. This is much larger than desired for sub 100nm patterning as is expected of ENFOL. The distortions were non-uniform patterns of localised displacements. This, the observation of Newton's rings beneath a test mask and the observation of a single particle distortion across measurements of the same mask across different loadings in the EBL pointed to particulate contamination causing the distortion. In order to prove beyond doubt that particulate contamination was the cause of the spurious distortions, mechanical modelling using the Finite Element Method (FEM) of analysis was employed. The results from this matched the distortions observed experimentally, particles 20-40µm modelling the observed distortion.

Full text
Abstract:
This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) documents the development through verification and validation of three instability-suppressing mechanisms in FUNWAVE-TVD, a Boussinesq-type numerical wave model, when modeling deep-draft vessels with a low under-keel clearance (UKC). Many large commercial ports and channels (e.g., Houston Ship Channel, Galveston, US Army Corps of Engineers [USACE]) are traveled and affected by tens of thousands of commercial vessel passages per year. In a series of recent projects undertaken for the Galveston District (USACE), it was discovered that when deep-draft vessels are modeled using pressure-source mechanisms, they can suffer from model instabilities when low UKC is employed (e.g., vessel draft of 12 m¹ in a channel of 15 m or less of depth), rendering a simulation unstable and obsolete. As an increasingly large number of deep-draft vessels are put into service, this problem is becoming more severe. This presents an operational challenge when modeling large container-type vessels in busy shipping channels, as these often will come as close as 1 m to the bottom of the channel, or even touch the bottom. This behavior would subsequently exhibit a numerical discontinuity in a given model and could severely limit the sample size of modeled vessels. This CHETN outlines a robust approach to suppressing such instability without compromising the integrity of the far-field vessel wave/wake solution. The three methods developed in this study aim to suppress high-frequency spikes generated nearfield of a vessel. They are a shock-capturing method, a friction method, and a viscosity method, respectively. The tests show that the combined shock-capturing and friction method is the most effective method to suppress the local high-frequency noises, while not affecting the far-field solution. A strong test, in which the target draft is larger than the channel depth, shows that there are no high-frequency noises generated in the case of ship squat as long as the shock-capturing method is used.
