Calculation of Resonance and Anti-Resonance Frequencies

The purpose of this stage is to verify the result of the frequency response experiment by calculating resonance and anti-resonance frequencies. This simple verification is important because it might be possible to avoid simple mistakes such as cable connecting error, configuration error of A/D and/or D/A converters.

Specifically, let us calculate resonance and anti-resonance frequencies which are presented in the frequency response from w to y. The choice of the signal from w to y is due to the simplicity of theoretical calculation by considering the duct as a open-and-closed-ended acoustic duct.

Use Matlab for the following calculation. The characters `>>' bellow are command prompts for Matlab. Change your working directory to ~/WWW/1 or ~/WWW/2 before startup Matlab.

  1. Measurement of Resonance and Anti-Resonance Frequencies
    Firstly, load the frequency response data by:
    >> load spk1.dat
    	
    Next, confirm that the data is correctly loaded by:
    >> format short e
    >> spk1

    In the above execution, exponential form is chosen to display numerics for simplicity of appearance.
    The 1st column of the above is test frequencies [Hz], the 2nd and the 3rd columns are gain and phase characteristics from w to z respectively, and the 4th and 5th columns are gain and phase characteristics from w to y respectively.

    Since our interest here is gain characteristic from w to y, the 4th column is plotted against the 1st column by:
    >> loglog(spk1(:,1),spk1(:,4),'.-')
    >> grid on
    	
    where `loglog' makes log-log scale plot, and '.-' means dashdot curve.
    The frequencies of upward and downward peaks are called resonance frequency and anti-resonance frequency, respectively.

    Example:



    Use `Zoom in' button to magnify the peaks in detail, and read the 1st and 2nd resonance and anti-resonance frequencies.

    Example(the 1st resonance peak is magnified):

    In the above example, the 1st resonance frequency is obtained by
    >> 10^1.64
    
    ans =
    
       4.3652e+01
    	
    Note that the character `^' above means power.

    Similarly read the other frequencies and complete the table below:
    1st2nd
    resonance frequency44 Hz ? Hz
    anti-resonance frequency? Hz ? Hz


  2. Calculation of Resonance and Anti-Resonance Frequencies



    Calculate the frequencies and complete the table below
    m = 0m = 1m = 2
    fr ? Hz ? Hz ? Hz
    fa ? Hz ? Hz ? Hz
    where c is set to be 340 [m/sec] and L is set to be the measured value.
