Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for determining impulse responses of a medium with respect to the transmission of waves between different points.
- the invention relates to a method for determining impulse responses of a medium with respect to the transmission of waves between different points, method comprising:
- Responses' pulse can be determined to wave focusing purposes in the medium, for example for the purposes of imaging medium or selective communication between different points of the medium, particularly in the context of the implementation of the "DORT" method (Decomposition of the Operator
- the process of acquiring impulse responses between the points in question in the medium is however relatively slow, insofar as it is carried out sequentially, for the different emission points i one after the other, as described for example in document OA-02/32 316 within the framework of a method of focusing acoustic waves other than the "DORT" method above.
- This slowness lengthens the implementation time of the process, and when the medium is changing, it does not allow the impulse responses to be obtained quickly enough to be able to be validly used in this medium.
- a process of the kind in question is characterized in that during the step
- the signals ei (t) are transmitted simultaneously by the said N emission points, these signals ei (t) having a duration T and each being a sum of n substantially monochromatic elementary signals, of the same amplitude and of frequencies respective f 0 , i + k. ⁇ f, where f 0 , i is a predetermined frequency specific to point i, k is an integer between 0 and n, n is an integer at least equal to 2 and ⁇ f is a step predetermined frequency, the respective frequencies f 0 , i specific to the different points i being distinct from each other and included in a frequency band of width ⁇ f, and in that during step (c), each impulse response hij (t) from a correlation signal between the signal ei (t) emitted at point i and the signal rj (t) picked up at point j.
- the impulse responses are calculated simultaneously between N transmission points and M reception points (possibly confused with the emission points), which accelerates the process of acquiring impulse responses.
- the waves transmitted in the medium between the emission points and the reception points are acoustic waves; during step (a), the medium in which the waves are emitted is reverberant; the frequency step ⁇ f is less than or equal to 1 / ⁇ , where ⁇ is the temporal dispersion of the medium (that is to say the duration of the signal picked up after emission of a pulse signal in the medium); the frequency step ⁇ f is substantially equal to 1 / ⁇ , where ⁇ is the time dispersion of the medium; - the duration T is at least equal to N / ⁇ f; the duration T is at least equal to N. ⁇ , where ⁇ is the time dispersion of the medium; the elementary signals have random phases; the waves are transmitted with a certain bandwidth, the frequencies fOi include a minimum frequency fO and the number n is determined so that the frequency band between fO and f0 + [(n + 1). ⁇ f] substantially covers said bandwidth; the reception points are confused with the emission points.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a device suitable for implementing the present invention, in one embodiment.
- the method according to one embodiment of the invention is implemented by a device 1 which is adapted to transmit and receive waves in a medium 2 which is homogeneous or not, generally reverberant f which can be solid, liquid or gaseous.
- the waves in question are preferably acoustic and the description below will only refer to such acoustic waves, but said waves could possibly be of another nature, for example of electromagnetic nature.
- the device 1 comprises for example a computer 3, or any other similar control device, which controls the emissions of acoustic waves and their listening in the medium 2.
- the computer 3 can for example control a dedicated electronic device 4 which can in particular comprise an electronic central unit CPU associated with a central memory MEM, this central unit CPU controlling itself N channels (N being an integer at least equal to 2) each connected to a transducer Tl-TN making it possible to transmit and pick up signals acoustics in environment 2. All channels are synchronized with each other.
- Each measurement channel of the device 4 can for example comprise an El-EN sampler connected to the corresponding transducer T1-TN, and each sampler can itself be connected to a memory associated with a central unit, jointly referenced Cl-CN.
- the device 1 can be used in particular for the purpose of imaging the medium 2, or even to establish selective communication with a point of said medium, or the like, for example using the "D.O.R.T.” method.
- the computer 3 controls the device 1 so that it successively follows the following steps:
- all the signals ei (t) are transmitted simultaneously during step (a) by the N transducers, but these signals transmitted are orthogonal to one another so that the information specific to each emission point can then be separated from each other others in the signals received rj (t).
- each signal emitted ei (t) is equal to the sum of n substantially monochromatic elementary signals, of the same amplitude and of respective frequencies fo, i + k. ⁇ f, where: f 0 / i is a predetermined frequency specific to the transducer i , k is an integer between 0 and n, n is an integer at least equal to 2, - and ⁇ f is a predetermined frequency step, advantageously less than or equal to 1 / ⁇ and preferably substantially equal to 1 / ⁇ , where ⁇ is an average value of the temporal dispersion of the medium 2, that is to say the duration of the signal picked up after emission of a pulse signal (Dirac function) in the medium 2.
- the respective frequencies f 0 , i specific to the different points i are distinct from each other and included in a frequency band of width ⁇ f: advantageously, these frequencies fo, i are separated two by two by a difference ⁇ f / N.
- BP is the passband with which the acoustic waves are emitted and received by the transducers
- fO is called the lowest of the frequencies fOi
- fO and n can advantageously be determined so that the frequency band of the signals elementary (band between fO and f0 + [(n + 1). ⁇ f]) substantially covers said passband.
- the elementary signals composing the signals ei (t) have random phases. All the signals ei (t) have the same duration T, which is advantageously at least equal to N / ⁇ f, and preferably at least equal to N. ⁇ .
- each impulse response hij (t) is calculated from a correlation signal between the signal ei (t) emitted at point i and the signal rj (t) received at point j.
- this correlation signal is window by means of a door function ⁇ (t) of width 1 / ⁇ f
- impulse responses hij (t) can advantageously be determined by the formula:
- reception points j at which the acoustic wave is picked up are merged with the emission points and constituted by the Tl-TN transducers, but the reception points in question may if necessary be constituted by a second array of transducers (not shown), distinct from the array of Tl-TN transducers.
- the acoustic waves which are generated by the emission of the signals ei (t) are therefore picked up at M reception points, M being a non-zero integer, which M reception points can be either confused with the N reception points.
