Fundamental consideration on 1ch acoustic distance measurement method based on phase interference by considering the movement of transmitting-and-receiving system

Since the distance to target is very important information, we have proposed an acoustic distance measurement (ADM) method using a standing wave, which is generated by interference between transmitted and reflected waves. However, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the measuring system between the microphone and the loudspeaker are not considered, but these characteristics cannot be ignored in a real environment. To remove the effect of the measuring system, our previous methods required a 2ch microphone or two measurements with targets and without targets. This paper describes a new ADM method considering a movement of transmitting-and-receiving system composed of 1ch microphone and loudspeaker. Finally, we examine the validity and effectiveness of our method by applying it to an actual sound field.
