Abstract
This paper examines and compares methods of separating tonal and broadband components of the noise generated by small rotors as commonly found on small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). Time synchronous analysis (TSA) methods with varying averaging algorithms, such as ensemble averaging (EA), exponential weighted moving averaging (EWMA) and Kalman filter averaging (KFA), are compared against themselves and against a cross-correlation-based method. The decomposition methods are used on noise measurements of a small isolated rotor under static operation and edgewise flight conditions at 10 m/s in the UNSW anechoic wind tunnel (UAT). The best method for isolating tones is TSA-EWMA and for isolating the broadband spectrum of noise is the cross-correlation method, based on the spectral reconstruction of the experimental data.
期刊介绍:
Acoustics Australia, the journal of the Australian Acoustical Society, has been publishing high quality research and technical papers in all areas of acoustics since commencement in 1972. The target audience for the journal includes both researchers and practitioners. It aims to publish papers and technical notes that are relevant to current acoustics and of interest to members of the Society. These include but are not limited to: Architectural and Building Acoustics, Environmental Noise, Underwater Acoustics, Engineering Noise and Vibration Control, Occupational Noise Management, Hearing, Musical Acoustics.
