Signal Processing and Acoustics Researcher

Lund, Skåne, Sweden Axis Communications Full time
Description

Category: Signal Processing and Acoustics

Scope: 2 students completing 30 credits (20 weeks) each.

Background

Axis Communications has a growing number of products, including paging systems with horn speakers. A horn speaker is a way of increasing the efficiency of a transducer by improving acoustic impedance matching.

This is achieved by feeding the high impedance speaker driver output into a confined space, the throat of the horn, which is also a high impedance. The expanding area of the horn in front of the speaker works as a slowly decreasing acoustic impedance until the sound waves reach the open air, which is a low impedance.

This design comes with the drawback that the pressure variations of the sound are large in a small space. Sound speed varies with pressure, so that sound travels faster at higher pressure levels.

Goal

  • Investigate the wave steepening effect on sound in horn speakers and ways to countermeasure this effect.
  • Implement and evaluate a way to cancel out the wave steepening effect.

Requirements

For this thesis proposal, we target students with a strong interest in audio, electronics, software, and signal processing. Most likely, you are studying a master program in electronics engineering or engineering physics.

Application Guidelines

  • Applications are accepted in both Swedish and English, and you apply via the proposal advert.
  • The announced thesis is open only to students affiliated with a Swedish University/College either directly or via an exchange program.
  • When the thesis proposal states that it includes two students working together, we would like you to apply in pairs. In these cases, send one application each but make sure to clearly state in your application who your co-applicant is.
  • Please attach your CV and University/College grade summary.
